You bid as an FO (your line, your vacation), but are able to pick up captain trips if you can dump your FO flying. Works great if people pick up your FO flying. If you can get rid of your FO flying, you could either build your captain flying from others or bid on captain open time at the lowest possible priority. Great at times, not so great at times.

You can only lance for a year. After that, you either bid regular captain or go back to FO.
