I don't even think the most optimistic of us at 9E thought it'd go this way Shy. This presents a new problem, we ARE going to quickly run out of captain candidates. So many FOs are bypassing because they have CJOs. Personally, I wouldn't look at that March 2015 guy as a good indicator for the most junior CA since he was a return to work with tons of 121 time. That'd be misleading to tell new hires with 121 experience as they'd think they could upgrade in just over a year.

You get a 6mo seat lock from going to Delta if you take the upgrade.

For me it has nothing to do with ability. It's the 6 month holdback. Not to mention that the CJO is contingent on discipline. Sitting reserve as a captain as a commuter is much more painful than 19-20 days off a month and a commutable line as an FO. Plus, why even care about PIC time when you already have the job? 6 months lost pay from not upgrading can pretty much be made up with a couple picked up trips at 150% if you even care. Most senior FO's will make around 70k anyhow. Too each his or her own!

Vacation for new hires is pro-rated by months of service.

As mentioned already, many don't want the possibility of having the 6 month CA obligation hold them back from a Delta class. So many senior FOs with CJOs bypass. Makes sense. Others do not want to give up the cushy schedules, and maybe a select few do not want to risk losing a CJO due to a jeopardy training event. In my case, if I get a CJO I won't see a class for at least a year...so I chose to take the upgrade. The above reason is part why the upgrades have gone incredibly junior.
