Yeah, you are probably right. Although, who would have ever guessed this latest development. When I was hired, we were told to expect 2 to 3 years upgrade time for SF3 CA. Now it is down to 2 months or less.

That's true. You mean if you put down CRJ CA a your first choice and Saab CA as your bottom choice, they will bypass you? My name was not even on the list as being bypassed and I am wondering if that is why my name got left out. Not that I want to upgrade to SF3.
I've been hearing a lot of rumors (only rumors) about the 2 year seat locks getting dropped so guys like you don't get higher paid positions than guys who've been sweatin' it out in right seat of a Saab for the past 3-8 years.
...food for thought.

So if I have ATP mins and the written and a Nov 5th class date and want to upgrade in a Saab does that mean I might be a Saab CA by the time I finish training? That would be very nice

But if you've got the time and experience, there's also nothing wrong with being excited about accepting that responsibility as soon as possible.

Yes, it could happen. I think we are all caught off guard, and didn't think it would go so exceptionally junior so quickly. If you're ready for it, go for it.

Careful when playing those games...

Personally, I agree that there should be no seat locks but remains to be seen whether that will come down as well.

It's not playing games or for that matter about money. My preference period. I have done my share of flying turboprops. Don't always assume the worst about other people or they will start do the same about you.
