Not sure about this. If you’re flying from Gatwick to Antalya you’ve probably got 50 en routes you could divert into. Not convinced that being able to explain the taxi routing for Frankfurt Hahn or where you’d likely park(!) is all that important.
Know the SOPs, don’t be a tit and that’s all there is too it. And when you’re in the cruise feeling like you should be doing something? You really don’t need to, that’s why your captain is reading a newspaper.
