That's not true, what happens is a Reserve squadron, even if still in existence and flying or those at Linton or Valley, stops gaining "seniority". Only frontline squadrons add to their seniority, thus it becomes more difficult for a Reserve squadron to keep its place in the pecking order. Seems a bit harsh to me given that we decided to do away with OCU numbers and replace them with reserve squadrons, and many of the reserve squadrons fly the same frontline type as the frontline, but rules is rules!
