CR implies maintaining documentation currency as well as flying proficiency. I know from personal observation that even stn cdrs, Wing Staff and even sqn cdrs might be good sticks but will be at the blunt edge of CR.
We had a succession of sqn cdrs who were borderline CR at best. One, a nav, would take a heap of office work airborne, the next avoided any exercise or training sortie, a third flew into CuG.
