I also fly with the #2 CA in base (top 3%) and he only sometimes gets it...
It's like the magical mysterious medieval griffin. It's only slightly more real than this legendary fantasy called 'Drop Trip into Open Time' that I've heard of.
Before I upgraded I got up to 8% seniority in base as an FO. In my reason report I had "WAIVE MINIMUM CANNOT BE AWARDED" every single month until I got below 10%. I had just one month bidding below 10% where it actually awarded it and that helped me work very little while I got ready for upgrade class.
I'm in a junior base and the junior bases are almost constantly understaffed so I'm sure that's part of the reason but 10% was the first time it ever allowed me to do it.
