Can’t stand your boss? This could be a good time for pros in the Airline industry to consider finding a job at KLM or Delta.
Employees at these companies have the most likeable CEOs, according to a new report from Owler, a pioneer in crowdsourced information that’s building the world's largest database of company and executive information.
Owler’s analysis, which parsed thousands of CEO reviews from its users, uncovers what people truly think of CEOs in the Airline industry. This comes at a time where there’s more transparency, and thus, accountability in the corner office than ever before. Whether it’s through the news, social media, or review sites like Owler, the nation’s top executives can’t seem to escape public scrutiny.
The top 3 CEOs in the Airline industry include KLM’s Pieter Elbers, Delta’s Ed Bastian, and Air Arabia’s Adel Abdullah Ali. With an average score of 60.6, Airline industry CEOs ranked #25 in Owler's Top 25 Industries list, suggesting that CEOs leading at airline companies are not as well-liked as many other peer CEOs in other industries.

Jim Fowler, founder and CEO of Owler, understands this better than most. He has been at the top for more than a decade, first building Jigsaw before selling to Salesforce for $175M and later launching Owler. He can share more on why CEO likeability has become such a crucial issue in this new era of visibility, where CEOs are subject to reviews as if they were a restaurant on Yelp.
