Motleycallsign,
Accept your premise, but having stood Q regularly, I found that we were often sent off on a "recovery", as it was quicker than waiting for the 6A crew to get in to base and plan. I never complained, one resulted in a week on the ground in Bermuda when we were sent on a recovery of an aircraft needing a valve housing change, to arrive and find it needed a propellor change. Life's a bitch, etc.
