In your example, interview in February, hit the line in August or September. That guy will be a month or two behind the power curve, by my math.
It only matters when that new guy hits the tipping point of the upgrade fulcrum. At some point, the fast upgrade will be gone, and the first guy after that will wish he hadn't sat on the couch for 4-8 weeks is all I am saying.
Sitting on the couch is sitting on the couch (Oprah!) - some people like sitting at home making minimum guarantee - others would rather be working their tails off accumulating flying hours towards the upgrade. to each his own.
This whole upgrade / flow / no rsv thing is a bit of a pyramid scheme. Everything remains rosy while there is growth. Lets not forget we have been in a up business cycle since 2009 - what happens with recession - music stops, upgrades stop, flow stops, misery rules all. This is not a new movie - its a rerun.
