I know Squadrons are old content, and a mostly forgotten prelude to Trusts, but I was thinking about them recently and it occurred to me that we could revitalize Squadron use and use them in conjunction with the current Trust system.
To explain:
Trusts primarily work with MSQ characters who accompany us on our various adventures and fight with us, but they don't work for every scenario. Specifically, they don't work for those situations where we are without our friends and need to use Azem's crystal to summon help.
What if we had the option of summoning our squadrons to help us in those moments?

We could level them up beyond 50, assign them jobs, etc. We could even give them special assignments connected to the various expansions if they're leveled up enough. Perhaps even little story arcs of their own if we were feeling ambitious enough.
They're supposed to be our own special forces team, so let's make them one!
