While I agree in principal, why does the DG need to be a civvy? The RNLAF's equivalent organisation (the closest any other nation has to the MAA) has a serving 1 Star DG but the difference is that the incumbent must be on his last tour of duty so that he is not worried about his promotion prospects. Could that work for us or would people worry that the DG would then not care enough to do a decent job as it would not matter to him?
