Impiger you are correct in that CC and CS were not eligible but the argument is that the RAF(CC) are actually fully gazetted (until it went online) and have authority over all officers and OR junior to them. The civil police and fire service as also public servants.
The truth of the matter is that Doctor Moody made a bum decision and no one is prepared to reverse it.
