Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

I don't know if I want an untrained person up front. They won't intentionally touch anything, but I'm sure there will be times where they are trying to get the dirt in between the panels with a hose and bump a switch or two. Or knock off something important. I remember a lot of us had a fit when Mgmt tried to have the gate agents wake up the A/C in the morning for whatever reason they thought was important at the time. The agents were doing what they were trained to do, but walking into a cockpit with switches possibly out of place makes me edgy. But then again, I'm not a very good pilot, and I need all the help I can get.
