Would the Adjt also be a pilot (who has to maintain currency (at a cost (not just financial but flying hours are limited so operational pilots (and aircraft) have more hours available to them).
Adjt would be a full time job anyway (that Offr shouldn't have time for flying) as would say being a recruit platoon commander, but being on a Captain GoH could be 1-2 hours a day for 2 weeks (or whatever), same with Int Offr (a few hours a week) or Mess Treasurer.
Why?
Pilots available for rostering 24/7
Very expensively trained resources
More available in order to log more hours & maintain currency in all procedures
Maybe the maintainers could be doing 24/7 duties in the hangers to get aircraft out of routine maintenance quicker (especially the longer maintenance).
But point taken on duties, everyone should do their share.
