Perhaps when listing as an AAC there's no indication on the priority list that they're JS qualified so they'd rather have it be clear that they can ride the JS as a D6UJ? I'm not sure. Also, non-WO guys have to pay a yearly fee for travel benefits. So I'm sure there are some guys that don't pay for those benefits and just rely on JS'ing when they need to travel. In that case they wouldn't even have the option of listing as AAC. But the priority goes D2P, AAC, D3, D6UJ, D7UJ.
