OK, maybe I am missing something or just not picked up on it before.

Yes, I know the system bid is what will happen in the future and not current. If those people on the system bid that I listed above are the most junior people showing staffed/awarded in each captain's seat, how is it that someone JUNIOR to those people could possibly hold captain and be holding it for as long as some have stated? Please explain to me as this is a serious question that maybe I need to figure out for bidding purposes.
