Because bypassing FOs decided to upgrade on the January bid. The current junior CA is still a 2015 hire, awarded in the Nov 19 bid which skewed junior due to opening of the SDF 747 domicile.
Depending on the total size and number of CA positions on the next Vacancy bid (which has come out in June/July the last few years), the junior CA award may fall back into "new guy" territory.
