One would be more than enough.
As to the RAF and its Title Inflation, it is even worse!
i have never understood the obsession with ranks.
It is just a name.
However, it relates to pay.
If you were the boss of a factory that had 150-200 people you would expect to get paid as well (if not more) than a Sqn boss who will be a Wg Cdr earning £70k ish, RRP is not rank dependent and is specialist pay.
Look at anyone in charge of 10,000 people they will be paid significantly more than an AOC Gp and likely way more than CDS, never mind CAS.
Google CEOs of companies of 32,000 people and see what they get paid...
