Well, with 3 or 4 Aircraft going away, it sure makes sense for the company to make things look as bleak as possible so people leave. If they start furloughing then they will have a mass exodus on their hands and the downward spiral really begins. This way, the company can enjoy a nice and orderly reduction of Pilots. The joke may be on them as the mass exodus may have already started.
The amount of FO Open Time is absolutely unreal. Every base except LGA looks like its Initial Open Time. I've never ever seen Daily like this. I have no clue how this all gets covered. Good luck.

Yup. Tomorrow makes 3 CA resignations. At this rate they are averaging 1 a day. Have 5 FOs resigning as of tomorrow. It's March 3rd... Good lord.

Oh yeah. Thankfully I've only had it happen once in 2.5yrs. This last trip the original CA called out. I had 5 different RSV CAs. Each of them looked like they wanted to kill themselves. One guy was Jr. Manned two times last month. He was fatigued both times 👍🏻

Compare to the call a few weeks ago that came in at 1230am soliciting JMs for an o-dark-hundred show. Should have called back on that one: "Yes, I'll accept the assignment. Consider me on rest now and what is the adjusted show time?"

They will call you if it becomes official. If you're smart you should pick something up on top of the trip you were originally scheduled to fly. You'll get pay for the 4 day pulled and paid time and a half for whatever you grab.

It means they are taking you off the trip with pay for FO IOE. Enjoy it! It happened to me once in my 4 years as a FO. It's "pending" because if the LCA misses his commute or calls in sick etc... you'll be back on the trip. Which also happened to me once

I don't think it's changed since I left ZW, but the company would withhold all trips from the FO bid pack for known IOE. Every once in a while, the FO OWP would happen but it usually meant it was unplanned/unforeseen extra IOE for a new hire so that's my guess.
