The other FO recently back from furlough that rode along was sure thrilled to finally see new hires. I was unable to pay for a beer that trip.

Wasn’t a holdover from the FE days. We were getting released straight out in 00. Then we got it back but the “qualified” FO had to ride a long for the first 3 legs at which point the LCA would release.
