Pick of the draw, unless the lucky one happens to be know to your mgt team.
It really all depends on what your area needs.
Don't worry about when your turn comes to drive , some here had to wait decades before they were ready to go. ( had another job, wife lost job, got rid of spouse, got new spouse, more kids coming, and the reasons go on ) .
I waited 23 yrs before going friend/t. Mostly because I was working 40+ /wk as a P/t and did that until the hours started to dry up. There are always cycles within the company when work is not there and when there is too much work. That lucky one as you call it may not be aware of these cycles and be unprepared for what is coming.
