Or do you have the ability to bid with your seniority for FO lines and just pick up captain stuff (if it's available.) Thanks in advance, I've read most of the threads on the subject and couldn't find a clear answer.
One of the CQFOs can answer this better than I can, but the last I heard planning designates how many CQFOs are needed in each seat and it goes by seniority. That doesn't mean you won't be flying any as a Captain, but determines your pay rate for guarantee each month.
