I don't know but I think "no fly" should work both ways. I like a trip with a nice synergy from the get go. I've only had one or two uncomfortable trips in 14 years but I hear chatter from guys in both seats. Not a lot, but why should there be any? There are FOs every bit as difficult to manage as a CA with issues.
Since we're both signing releases, shouldn't that be an easy to accomplish issue for the next PWA? Why give FOs all the love.
