Took the employee shuttle from the parking lot outside CAE and it dropped us at terminal C. Might be able to do the reverse

It's essentially a projection of the next few upgrades. In the event somebody quits, drops from the award, doesn't have the time to upgrade ETC, their spot will be taken by an alternate. The alternates are listed at the bottom of the award.
It's a pretty safe bet on where you'll see the junior awarded captains start for the next vacancy. Interestingly enough, the 5 or so alternates traversed a months worth of new hires.... Hence why some people expect street captains.

How long do you expect this to happen? Would a new hire starting in May or June, with high 121 time have a chance for a quick upgrade? Or has the wave been missed? Assuming that they don't bring in street captains.

Yes, they would get upgrade before street captains. It's all about date of hire and seniority order. Once they run out of of people to upgrade then they'll turn to street captains

Nobody wants street captains. Everyone keeps assuming CPZ will hire street captains because it's only "logical", yet no one in the company has said there are plans for that. I don't think Delta would be too happy about it either.

Why would Delta care about street captains?

Because they care about everything Compass does.

No...

They wouldn't, as they don't micromanage the operation to a T. if street captains are needed to keep the planes flying, it will happen, or something similar to it (CQFO, etc...)
Compass does care though. From the company standpoint, this means dealing with higher insurance premiums, the union (don't believe street captains are allowed per the cba), safety concerns, etc. As I stated previously, no one should be excited about street captains. The only winners are those who get the street captain position.
