Until you are an A2, you are not an 'Above the Average' instructor. So how can you be assessed as 'above the average' in the air- and hence attract the attention of promotion boards - whilst you are a B2 or B1 QFI?
That said, my advice would be to put in the maximum effort as a co-piglet. Too many think that they will 'naturally' be awarded captaincy without any particular effort on their behalf, but this is not necessarily the case nowadays. But if they do go to CFS, what are their posting options? A UAS probably - but many of those (particularly in the South) are now staffed by FTRS elders leaving few slots for newcomers.
