You must be mistaken if you believe that us AF types don't do the same. We are in charge of all that stuff on the squadron level as well except maintenance because our maintenance falls under a different chain of command.
I echo everything all my AF airlift brothers have said on this thread. If you want to fly for a living, it gets much more difficult once you reach O-4 in the AF (about 10 years in). Not to mention the ridiculous amount of BS you have to deal with. The leadership at the O-5 level and above are more concerned about stroking each other and looking good to make rank than in doing what is right for the mission.
