It can't be denied that a command will open more opportunities for moving on from EK. I suspect that herein is the main motive for getting the command for many.

If seniority was not considered then how would they decide who to review for the forthcoming command review board? Just because someone is unfortunate to get bypassed, doesn't mean that seniority is not an
initial consideration, when it comes to reviewing suitable candidates.
