Just remember this officer/airmen thing is not a competition. (I've been both) The officer is not meant to be better than the FS/WO at the workings of the job. They are the manager who should know that the non coms will help them do a job. This isn't just air movements, it is everywhere, look at infantry platoons, the Sgt is the main man. ABIW, you little stirrer, you kept me out of trouble for years. If it had not been for the senior loadies, I would not have lasted one tour. Rightly or wrongly, the system puts an officer in charge of the team. The output is teamwork, not individuals. You get d**kheads in all ranks.
