It doesn't matter if he bid for LCA or just asked for that trip by coincidence. If it's OE and the threshold has been met, you can't have it. This will cascade all the way down until the last F/Os get their reserve lines with on call days on holidays and weekends.
BTW, the company may designate all LCA-awarded trips for OE up to the maximum block hours allowed in 23.D.X. (40 hours per NB New Hire and 75 per WB New Hire...plus other amounts for captains, F/Os, etc). That's the only language restricting how many OE trips they may withhold.
What you miss is with that amount of OE they will spread it all around the system to get it done. They can only pull the OE time for NY guys training in base.
