When I was a mid seniority MD11 F/O, this would happen all the time if I was lucky enough to get a TOE trip and be the 'senior' of the two F/O's. The way I put a stop to it was, I called the number one F/O, and swapped with him, after I saw that the douche F/O had swapped with the more junior F/O and I was going to have to go, vs. stay home. My buddy, number 1 F/O, got to stay home and I flew his trip, the best trip in the base. Douche had to get the trash bags and water bottles.
