I'll admit that my situation is not the best, but with regards to the demotion issue i just have 1 question. why would they demote her for disobeying orders, because if she hadn't, the Tiger's Claw would have been destroyed. (remember, she said that the only thing that could kill a skipper missile is a starfighter at close range). Personally, if I was the captain I wouldn't make too big a deal of the disobeying orders issue cause she saved the ship, but that's just me. And as for what TC said about risking the confederation, what more could she do? Blair was constantly calculating the jump right up to the moment he jumped, fighters are ineffective against the Snakier, and if the TIger's Claw was destroyed, the Confed fleet probably wouldn't have had enough time to set up the ambush.
Second, yes if your position is taken away, normally you would get another position with respect to your rank. However, sometimes you have to accept a temporary demotion because if you don't, there get to be too many senior officers in that unit (hence Blair's comment in WC4 about Paulson), and when she was offered the position of the Austin's wing commander, that could be where the personel situation was figured out.
Anyway, I'm just trying to figure out a way for the games and movie to coincide without having Angel get demoted. With the exception of Blair, getting demoted usually isn't that good for your career and you dont' get the good assignments, which being wing commander for the Concordia would be one of the good assignments.
