Re: JG/Gruppe Stab Flight Personnel Selection?
From what I read, it was current for a Kommodore or a Gruppe Kommandeur to integrate its usual wingman to his Stab (for example when a Gruppe Kommandeur was promoted to lead the whole Geschwader), or to take in it pilots or officers he wanted to evaluate...
I don't think that transfer to the Stab was considered as a promotion. But it was certainly the sign that the commander of the unit had an eye on you, and wanted you on his side at least for some time. Officers integrated in the Stab often then took command of part of the units (Gruppe or Staffel) when opportunity arose.
