Here is the dialogue for the first DRG job quest.

The most important tidbit from this would be:
Alberic: The Eye is no ordinary relic. It harbors the power of the dragon, which it bestows upon a single chosen soul─the strongest and wisest dragoon.
Alberic: He who is chosen is possessed of the power to fight our mortal foes, the dragons of Dravania, on equal footing, soaring the firmament as if it were an extension of the land. That man is known as the Azure Dragoon.
Alberic: The Azure Dragoon is the light of hope for all Ishgardians, and the paragon of all dragoons.
What this points to is that the Azure Dragoon, and ONLY the Azure Dragoon has the power to uber-jump which is "the power to fight our mortal foes, the dragons of Dravania, on equal footing, soaring the firmament as if it were an extension of the land."
So normal dragoons cannot perform these mid-air feats of combat and are likely elite Ishgardian lance-knights specifically trained to fight dragons and wouldn't receive a Soul Crystal.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.
