When you do some of the really fast upgrades, it’s done out of seniority because those above you either can’t or don’t want to upgrade yet. They’ll eventually trickle above you, keeping you junior in your seat. IAD is very junior for Captains, but also very senior for Captains. A Captain there could easily be on reserve for a couple of years if they do a 4 month upgrade there.
