You learn a hell of a lot in a ground role that you wouldn't going straight to the flight deck.
I know from my few years working in Ground Ops, Flight Ops and Ops Control that there is a lot of important (commercial/operational) stuff I know and understand that pilots 20-30 years into their careers do not. That only makes me a better all round pilot able to take the holistic view when considering things.
