JEEP.
Sorry mate but this level playing field you keep refering to doesn't actually exsist. I don't know how long its been since you spent any time in the company of E3's but it sounds to me like its been a while. Too long at Wallop maybe. How many E3 QHI's do you know?
And it does have a lot to do with rank.
Why would the AAC transfer a SNCO AC Comd with a few hrs experience on 2nd or 3rd tour flying pay, hes going nowhere. It obviously makes sense to them to transfer the Cpl with 500 hrs and 12 years to do, who ,after finding out what a cake & a**e party he,s invited himself to, may decide to throw in his hand and go back to an outfit that recognises his potential at his job and not his ability to kiss a**e.
And when it comes to postings/promotions + cushy appts only an a**e would say they were rightfully his.
Who knows, you probably got mine!
