One of the unique features of the Aerial Corps is that rank is determined not only by the holder's ability, experience and record of service but also by whether or not they've harnessed a dragon and by that dragon's status among other dragons. A 14-year-old who's harnessed a [[Winchester]] or [[Greyling]] dragonet is a captain and as such outranks the first lieutenant of a heavyweight, even though the latter is almost certainly older and has more experience in the Corps. | One of the unique features of the Aerial Corps is that rank is determined not only by the holder's ability, experience and record of service but also by whether or not they've harnessed a dragon and by that dragon's status among other dragons.

On the other hand, precedence among captains is determined by the native hierarchies among their dragons, which depends on factors such as size, special abilities and experience. On the battlefield, dragons will instinctively recognize the authority of a [[Regal Copper]] with a 20-year-old captain much more readily than that of a Winchester handled by a veteran officer. There is no point arguing with the dragons, so it is the humans who must adapt. | On the other hand, precedence among captains is determined by the native hierarchies among their dragons, which depends on factors such as size, special abilities and experience.
