The FO OE hold back is a no for me. Generally speaking 10% of our pilots will be doing OE to keep this airline staffed. They will be pulling 7.5% of the trips. We will all be losing 7.5% in line quality that we could hold.
Captains who don't think this affects them or is no big deal please think of it this way if they held the top trips from you as well how would you vote. Please support your FO's. It is not just the people at the top that this affects it drives all the way down the list putting additional line holders on reserve.
As I posted 10% is a huge exaggeration of pilots doing OE. We only carry 10% LCA's. They have to do line checks, theatre quals, special flts as well as OE. They are also given trips with no LCA duties.
