70% of airport mishaps trace back to the wrong leader. That statistic underlines a persistent hiring myth: a polished résumé guarantees a safe runway. In practice, boards fall into four traps. First, they equate industry buzzwords with competence. Second, they ignore incident-response history. Third, they overvalue short-term metrics. Fourth, they neglect cultural fit. The solution is a data-driven vetting process: map the role to measurable safety KPIs, request case studies of crisis management, and conduct structured behavioral interviews that simulate real-world scenarios. Only then does a résumé translate into runway safety.
