I suspect SM will only be satisified that flying is truely safe when there is a (suitably breathalised) non-pilot senior manager riding jumpseat and carrying a cattle prod onboard every commercial flight.
No chance wiggy. He would then be held directly responsible should thing go tits up, with CVR evidence supporting the fact. And remember SMelly wants a camera in the cockpit as well recording every move. Not much teflon to be had there (for management presence on the flight deck). Management always maintains a position of plausible denyability. It was frowned upon in Esso to commit anything contentious to print - computer or hardcopy. Could come back and bite in any discovery process.
