I hired a new guy and he insists upon doing one DCC alignment and never doing another alignment, he lets the feature control frame control the alignment for him. I don't think that is a good practice, does anyone have an opinion on this?

depends on the part. I assume he is using a readpoint at the beginning, then doing a dcc alignment and then continuing with the rest of the part and using the features picked up along the program to create his datums.
it's how I roll. as long as the features for the dcc are cleanly hit, and the machine knows the orientation of the part on the table, I haven't had any issues doing it this way.
the only time I ever do more than one alignment is if I'm using iterative, or if the part is so horribly off it doesn't come close to the model.
