Could the lower ranks of Enterprise-D's crew have been aggrieved with Wesley's treatment?
Post Body

Hi, this could be a silly question, considering a crew will respect the judgement of a captain like Picard and piloting was de-emphasised often in TNG. However, even with the higher mindedness of Trek officers, would it be natural to see the opportunities a teenage Wesley recieved and resent the choice?

Working with the flagship senior officers continously for years, discoverying new races, species and planets, while taking the spot of someone who was a Starfleet graduate. He was the son of the Captain's deceased best friend and the son of a senior commander, compounding perceived favouritism to some degree.

Filling Geordi or Worf's position after their role promotions seems natural, to avoid the experience vacuum of not having Tasha or Geordi on the bridge.

Tilly was already friends with most of the Bridge crew, well liked and despite her gentle nature had proven herself in both command and life-or-death situations. If anything they would have been extremely supportive of her gaining the position and had it come down to a vote I could easily see them choosing her themselves in their own right.
