There is not an ideal system, but a seniority based system is the best of both. In my airline Seniority only guaranty you an upgrade slot. Then you need to pass the upgrade, pass the 2 line cecks, pass the first sim check. So no matter if you are a weak FO or Maverick, you need to pass. Aprox 40% of FO failed their upgrade to CPT on the last 3 years.
