Could OE trips be built separate from the general bid packet that will only be awarded to FO's up for OE, then put in open time if there is not an FO/CA upgrade that lines up with that trip? I would think there are some airports that we would want our new pilots to see early and the appropriate number of hours/landings.
With a steady flow of hiring, I would think the number of OE's per fleet/month is fairly predictable to about a 90% solution.
