It is important to realise that in many countries and airlines flight deck visits are still allowed.

Instead he/she chose to raise it in a different, less attractive, way - identifying the crew member involved in a public forum, and then canvassing our support for the public-spirited action taken.
The subsequent hole-digging adds little to the dignity of the exercise.
