There's nothing wrong with making people (managers) feel more at ease with new technology (particularly if they don't) and pilots can provide an opportunity to do this with reduced risk for all parties.

Of course, Richard McCoy is no museum. Nice post. I’ve begun to think everything I do online is project that has yet to be assessed. It’s how I started using Twitter, and other things.
