They also give you the option to move to your base. It’s no different than any other job. Trying to make it a safety issue is nonsense.
I have flown with a few FOs who think they are ready for the left seat (They make sure to remind me that they are senior to me) and yet they have no clue of what the job entails!

You can train a monkey to fly, but you can't train a monkey to make decisions and act like a captain.
