I was told by my posting officer that to be assimilated as PA, I had to demonstrate the same qualities to "The Board" as for promotion. He intimated that it was for those who did not quite make Sqn Ldr.
So, to get promoted, you have to do pointless secondary duties well.

If you are a good pilot, get yourself all the flying ticks, and concentrate on your primary role, you might as well join BA now!
