Any idea how often they actually kick the FO off for OE or something else? I'm guessing it depends on fleet (717, 88...more than the 737 or 320...?) and base (NYC...more than SLC or CVG).
Obviously I'm planning on flying the thing, but I'm just curious if there's a real chance of being bought off the trip. Or...is it more in the Dumb and Dumber, one in a million chance of being bought off the trip.
"So you're saying there's a chance....."
All depends on the base, fleet, and how many they are training. A year ago SLC 320 guys could get bought off every trip they had with a LCA. Now, you won't get any bought off you.
