While I certainly can see the point of not askin, but tackin....I think it is a good idea to keep communicating with the captains...I try to steer them, I usually do something on the long gainer with a hold behind it, I will usually start off by saying, you're gonna want to take this right??...but I think not talking to the captains is a bad idea as you may need to communicate with them for another reason later, and keeping the channels open and positive is a good idea at least in my book
