And people above you are more likely to flee asap to bigger and better. Which is also good for your relative seniority.

I think what I said is true as an overall trend. However, there are 6 month stretches (or more) where no one gets ATL 88 or 717 for a couple AEs. If you happen to be the plug when that happens, that sucks. I don't know any way of predicting that.

Something else, 73 seems to block more. 73 guys seem to get off probation faster than anyone else. If you care. And personally I'd recommend caring more about getting off reserve if you're gunna be commuting.
