I don't know if I agree with that. The staff at AI have been trained at their jobs, often very well. Revenue management has a very specific job - to maximize revenue. A pretty decent job of this can be done by applying what you read in a textbook - not much innovation or critical thinking required.
Well, I think that "pretty decent" job is not good enough in a highly global, competitive industry. And you can't seriously be telling me that you can learn how to run an airline (or even its pricing strategy department) by reading a freaking text book???? Are you shi**ing me? In my mind, you lost almost all your credibility with that one statement!!!!!

Seriously dude, you really need to learn to value experience and wisdom a lot more than you currently seem to do. Statements like airline management can be learnt from reading a textbook or that you can turn around AI if made CMD truly expose you as extremely naive and foolish.
