If you have weeks left, you need to bid for placement of those weeks in round 2-4, which happens all in one bid.
Also, as a heads up, this is completely separate from the vacancy bid...

I hear it every trip I fly. Not many guys want to deal with the constant reroutes and multi leg days.

I’ll probably do 6 months G4 and bail for G2 CA. As a bonus it costs an extra training cycle to the company.

90hrs G4 FO ≈ 73hrs G2 CA.
It'll come down to your preference for line vs res, and type of flying.
