Northrop, now Northrop Grumman, has always hired former military folks

I noticed that fighter pilots were favored for management positions because they "looked good and sounded good" although they did not always have the best technical skills.

On the other hand, former non-combat officers in the support branches of the Air Force (e.g. logistics, maintenance, etc.) were passed over for management positions although they had the experience of managing hundreds of personnel and millions of dollars of budget while in the Air Force.
