Just heard from an LCA..."be careful what you wish for".... He said Flt Ops is not telling him to swap seats...they acknowledge that could lead to a problem in the pit. But, he said....don't be surprised if most FO pairings are held back from monthly bidding, reserved for IOE... iRO pairing then become senior (only thing left to bid) and then when IOE is not being conducted the pairing is dumped to OT at last minute.
Games begin....now.
