You gain seniority by people leaving above you. Go to somewhere where people regularly move from on top of you. Look at expressjet before shutdown, they had tons of new people but upgrades still took 5+ years, know why? Cause no one left at the top. People kept cycling through the bottom but the movement needs to happen at the top (or at least above you) to move up.
