Couldn't agree more.
Many moons ago I was called to a high office at an airline that is now history. On most flights I was invited up front, and after doing away with niceties and distractions like takeoff and landing, the conversations usually revolved around how the airline should be run, with me mostly doing the listening. After a while I took on the habit of offering helpful advice to the flight crew, like a little bit to the right, now a little to the left... The smarter ones took the hint
