I personally think that is a load of BS and the especially in the field of something as specialized as transportation, an exhaustively encyclopedic knowledge of every aspect of the industry from the highest manager to the lowest employee is an absolute non negotiable requirement for a manager in that field. Sometimes even taking manager from the outside as has been recently done with the MTA from other “Toonerville Trolley” transit systems don't put the best managers in place. From what I was told when I visited WMATA years ago, most if not all of the policy is made bet suits who have less than no clue about running a mass transit system which is probably the cause of most of WMATA’s problems.It's been that way sense the 1990s when WMATA laid off most of the in house engineering staff as they began winding down thing near the end of the build out of the originally planed system. That lay off was a tremendous brain drain. WMATA basically showed the door to the collective knowledge of how all the pieces and part are suppose to be put together.
