I think you will find there are lots more 4-pilot trips in the 350 bid package and most are 2-leg trips. To some extent, like the 777, there is/was an unwritten rule that one Captain flew out, one Captain flew back and the FOs got the extra pay for bounces. Not an absolute rule but certainly more common than not. Especially when the Captains are 64 3/4 years old. They don't want to give up their last landings and I can understand that...well, until Congress and ICAO raise the age to 67. Then they will owe the FOs retro landings. 😁🤣
