Sort of. Management aren't part of the unions so they can't technically be a "lead", that's reserved for the engineers and mechanics.

I will speak to experience in engineering:

K level means they have around 10-12 people under them, or as few as 6. These are the "front line" managers in charge of the various teams, like Flight Control Electronics, as an example.

L level means they are in charge of 5-10 K level managers. They are in charge of a more general function, like "Flight Controls".

M level means they have like, 5-10 L level managers beneath them. They are in charge of a general skillset, like Flight Controls & Mechanical Hydraulics, and may span multiple projects. These managers also work with skill team "captains" who manage development of the workforce and things like that.

Default RE: Levels of management

So in other words a K level manager is like a first line supervisor. An L level in equal to a second level and M a third. Is that correct?
