But if you look at it this way, if he asks, he thinks it will "push him down the list", which means it will decrease his chance of promotion as compared with if he didn't ask. (postponement is a decrease of current chance).
He says he "knows" that asking will push him down, meaning he is quite confident of that result, meaning to him, it is much more likely that it happens, than him getting promoted.
So the results of this action can be
1) decreases his chance of promotion, with a much higher chance.
2) he gets promoted, with a much lower chance.
...
So, is his actions worth it, you can't tell. (Different from what I originally thought actually).
