I mean they're not going to do it often because they're paying a captain to an FO job.
We used to do this years ago. However, now that we might bring it back makes me, as a capt, to be available for right seat. This can mean the difference of going home are staying gone from RR or on call reserve. Trust me when I say they will max out that 20 hours as a first officer fill in.
