It's even dumber than that. Let's say that really is your approach.
Cool, we're picking a pilot.
Pilot 1: I have filed a flight plan to take our plane to the Bahamas for a month. Also, I have stated numerous times that I will change my mind and fly wherever the hell I want and you can't stop me, the plane belongs to me and I alone get to decide what to do with it, I've threatened to crash the plane into a mountain repeatedly, I've tried to hijack a plane before, I've demonstrated that I actually have no idea how to fly a plane, I get easily confused and distracted by anything and everything, and I'm fucking drunk all the time.
Pilot 2: I have filed a flight plan to take us to a local lake for a nice week. I know that's not the exotic destination some of you may want, but it's achievable based on the time and resources we have. Also, I am a competent pilot who has repeatedly expressed that I take seriously my duties as a pilot, and have never threatened to crash the plane, tried to hijack it, and I'm not a drinker.
Saying "I'm voting for the flight plan, not the pilot" in that scenario tells me that you are a dumbass with sub-reptilian intelligence. I'm amazed that you remember to breathe.
