It's called Kirk Syndrome. The "I know this is the most dangerous planet in the galaxy so I'm going to take my entire senior staff down" Syndrome.
He was on very briefly two weeks ago, in one scene - I think when Alara was having the arm-wrestling competition iirc

We're going to leave the ship to the Ships Councillor to run. Its always been my one source of eye rolling removal from disbelief.
That and having the Captain in phaser fights. He's the tactical and strategic head in any operation, not the point man in an infantry company.
That and having the Captain and XO always being on the same shift. Usually they try not to do that unless they're in a combat situation in the real world, its how an XO develops his command style, by not having the Captain around all the time.
Its just like, I wonder what people's jobs are on the enterprise. Whenever they take a shuttle out there's never a designated pilot, the Captain or whatever is flying the ship. I wonder how disgruntled the rest of the crew is about never being able to do things because the Captain and the command crew are complete glory hogs.
"Yeah Bob look at how respected and decorated our command crew is"
"Yeah that's great because they hog all of the assignments that we should get because we're trained soldiers and scientists and pilots too. No wonder nobody gets promoted on this stupid ship"
