The micromanaging never ends  

they are pilots masquerading as managers thinking being a pilot means knowing everything under the sun.  Pretty naive stuff but it's been that way since helicopters 'hit the scene'.  Screws up a great deal of effort to realistically deal with issues and take the industry forward.  Developed in to a helicopter culture based on good ol' boy' gang behavior.  Watched it since the early 70s.  Those few who successfully bucked this culture and got things done were vilified though I doubt they paid it much attention.  Lot of ex-military involved.  True.  Things are changing based on a better balance of educated civil and military pilots.
