Smigel should know that his presence in the cockpit WILL be a major distraction. If he knows, he's deliberately violating his own company safety policy (not that management actually think that rules apply to them), and if he doesn't, well, I guess that speaks for itself.
If Smigel wants to talk to crews he ought to spend some time in the crew ops. But then again, that would require him to actually interact with his employees when they aren't subject to the additional stress of trying to be respectful of him and trying to make sure the preflight is done correctly and safely. By walking into the cockpit when the crew is busy, he knows he can do most of the talking, then have an excuse to leave quickly when his BS gets challenged.
I would stop everything I am doing and talk to him as long as he wanted. It would be a great excuse for a late push......
