What you're actually suggesting, then, JN, is that the RAF adopt the model that Sir Frederick Sykes initially intended it (well, the RFC) to have in 1912 when he was setting the service up - had there been enough officers of suitable rank to command the number of units that would have been created under this pattern...
Although a little hard to divine from subsequent documentation (and his autobiography), it would appear that the RFC squadron would have been about eight aircraft strong had there been enough suitably-qualified Majors in the British Army at the time.
