I'm aware of this reporting, that's the test pilots. I'm talking about engineers who are pilots, and pilots consulted for the design portion, whether they be in-house, customers, or consultants brought on board.
If you're a food products company, you bring in people to do some kind of product testing to see if they like it or hate it. So far I have yet to read or hear from a pilot who says: Oh this is GREAT idea! Love the entire concept!
