No. Of course, when you do public service, making profit is not the main goal. But those who made a more or less functioning public company into a dysfunctional mess are neolibs.

Another obvious thing to emphasize again is that what the job needs is not 'a good manager', but a good railway manager. Railways (at least properly run ones that serve both freight and passengers) are very complex systems, with lots of interdependencies, which a manager should know or his cost-benefit analysis isn't worth anything. Only the command structure of the workforce is hierarchic, but not 'production'.
