No matter which way you skin the cat, the reality is you will not have quick movement here. That being said, upgrade to CA here doesn’t mean you have to be half way up the list. Reserve rules here are horrendous so the most junior upgrade went to a 2,9xx guy out of 3,000 total (hired Jan 2015). If you’re hired today it’s still gonna be a while.
Close...19xx seniority. A new hire today is 1000 away from the plug. If we hire for just retirements it could be 10 years plus until you too can enjoy the crappiest reserve rules in the industry
