Now low time FO hours.....it is to keep the upgrade gravy train rolling. Their thought process is to make a better case for less restricted flow. Get the FOs the time, get them in the left seat, keep us staffed on captains. From what I understand, they will displace line holding FOs who will be off and not subject to reassignment to get FOs flight time.

They don't want to do this whole hog since they lose a rsv and a line pilot so they want the ability to bypass FOs on reserve with over 20 hours for the month. A bypassed pilot will get hotels for each night he is bypassed that will not count against commuter hotels. I'm not quite following what they're talking about regarding preferring in regards to this.
