Some senior FOs will even call up the junior FO on an OE trip to make the offer. The ATL 350 domestic trips can be hidden gems, because they want short legs for experienced international pilots who need landings more than crossings. I've seen them buy off both the A and B positions of domestic trips just to get landings.
