5 Forward 6 Back,
Non-exec wg cdrs? I thought that was the purpose of PA although they would not be wg cdrs. When spec aircrew came out SA Wg Cdr was a possibility but I only knew of one.
On the command side, Hodgkinson proposed the overborne sqn ldr. What you are proposing is effectively an overborne wg cdr.
One naval unit I used to visit was headed by a 2.5 - Sir. The rest of the staff consisted of 2.5s with one Lt. They were all Tom, Dick and Harry or Claude or whatever Naval officers are called.
Overborne wg cdrs? No, we are too lean for that. No spare slots and no more wg cdrs than we need
