Well you asked for a few thoughts CB, again forgive my ignorance, but does the crew rating only relate to the player and not the AI, also something you said earlier made me think of SH2, where some things are not read, perhaps something they never got round to.
Also have you noticed when the player sub either submerged or surfaced how the aircraft pick you up, when submerged I have seen a good few fly overhead then turn and fly off again, as though something has told them you are there somewhere?
I wonder if instead of increasing the numbers what about adding a ( - ) minus sign instead, we've seen lots of weird things happen by doing the opposite sometimes.
If I'm off track then ignore all this I'm just throwing some thoughts around.
Edited to add:
I just read this on the other SH3 section, do you also think that after you sink a ship the sound of it breaking up MIGHT effect the DD's picking you up, that might explain some of it but not when you haven't sank anything.
Have you noticed any difference when there is no convoy around, do the DD's pick you up then, I'm thinking it might be the convoy ships masking you somehow?
