I doubt this was a simple opportunistic relationship. Cinder likely had her fingers in the organization well before the relationship was revealed to the general membership. She or the people with whom she is associated probably had some pull with the new leader, perhaps even before the old leader stepped down. Perhaps the train job did play into her hands in various ways and this was one of those ways. Them being left with a train car full of Dust gave her an excuse to formalize her relationship with the organization.
