Just some ideas.
The MSPM88 base even though is open, a lot of the flying is still being done by SLCM88 crew (our old originating base). Trips are mostly one leg to ATL, and then in and out of ATL for 2-4 days, and one leg back, or DH. They are converting guys at a glacier pace, and I'm just stuck at the bottom until close to the end of conversion. And from this last AE, the system should've allow me to leave this category for another because it didn't satisfy my % requirement, but because of all the unfilled vacancies, i'm being the bottom until said unfilled vacancies will be filled by new hires (perhaps, unknown in 6 months). Frustrating that's all... sorry about the rant.
