Can we really have it both ways?
No arguments from me on that. My point was you cannot see what they ARE or ARE NOT doing. I figured most would be trying to raise their profile, not lower it.
As a (good) example--flew last week doing PM out and backs. Every day I got to say "Hi Len..." Every single day! Like--he was IN the AOC--TALKING! Interacting! Sarcasm off--I was impressed. He was out and about and showing the flag. If you had a question that week--there was a dude just "over there" you could ask. Maybe I just don't know the other guys and they are out as much too--but I don't remember seeing that kind of presence.
