They dont need to bring in farangs, there are plenty of thais there with the knowledge and expertise, its the patronage system thats the problem. Thai friend of mine started off as an engineer, give the company their due, they recognised local talent and sponsored him for his pilots license. Whilst there may be a few Thai men (I'd like to write "people", but in practice it's "men") with the ability to pilot a large plane, I'm not aware of any Thai people with practical experience of turning around a major airline. That's quite a different skill set. A few may well have the talent, but most certainly don't have the experience. And those that do have the talent will never rise to the top. Just look at the farce that is the Thai education system. In Thailand the cream never rises to the top. I am not disagreeing with anything you said, there are industry standards than can be applied, whether they can or will be applied is of course another matter.

There aren't that many people on the planet who are skilled and have practical experience of turning around a national airline, the problem is an industry issue, not so much a Thai issue.
