Not true Soul Society is shown taking their time filling positions. Also why fill positions just to use them as canon fodder to be taken out by Aizen when its gonna be hard to handle him with the guys you got. Then theres the trust issue and the capability issue. A time outside of war would be best as your not throwing someone into a hopeless situation they can't handle day one. It would be counter productive to leave the spots open momo is incapable of true leadership. Izuru to indecisive and Hisagi finds it to much of a burden. So its about as unlikely as the boost in power Aizen kept getting or the hogyoku's true power. Wartime isn't a good time to just pick any old person because you need extra bodies. They need those positions filled plain and simple. The real issue as you so demonstrated is that as a fan can you handle that.
