Scarfo definitely had it lucky due his friendship to Phil Testa. But tbh; Philly is known to have soldiers bumped to admin positions. Look at Joey Merlino; John Stanfa; Joe Ligambi; Micheal Ciangalini. None of these guys were captains... But some how someway they got bumped to Boss/Front Boss/Acting Boss...

And yup; Gene and Angelo talked on wiretap about how shitty John Gotti was with gambling money away....
