  2. In all Organisations there must be basic discipline. And whilst I fully appreciate that aviation is different, an aircraft is an Organisation and it needs a CEO. That being the Captain. It seems to me that having a member of the Cabin Crew serve as a spy on the Flight deck when one of the "Senior Executives" leave temporarily doesn't do much for the discipline or, perhaps more importantly, morale in this Organisation? Or perhaps you Guys in aviation view this differently. Perhaps a new CRM (CABIN resource management)?
Has nothing to do with spying. Not a concern, at least for the vast majority.
