James,
You may have a point but the issue concerns SFO's who have already been deemed suitable for command.They have had to jump through many hoops.
Easy needs to promote them to keep the CTC pyramid/income generator ticking over...but with training resources stretched they have a small problem...and gaps at Gatters because of the aforementioned reasons.
So the opportunity to grab some trainers from MON is there...especially if they have Squadron acquaintances!
As for experience...to the bean counters we are just cost units and if they could replace us with robots then they would do just that.
