LCA Bidding?
To all the WB gurus out flying the line……… is it possible to get bought off on the pacific dual crewed flying if the LCA is doing OE?
Seems to me with two full crews this would be an option, but since we are just spooling up on this I am not sure what the status quo is on this.
Any thoughts on the subject?

The senior FO is typically released for OE. Just because you bid with the LCA doesn't mean you are the one getting released. You may be the senior FO up until the 5pm PCS run the day prior, only to find that a senior FO swapped a primo trip to the junior FO for "your" trip buy. 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.

Yep, always a risk of Douchebaggery. Reminds me of this:

I was hired at a regional that had 11-month CRJ upgrades. I spent almost 7 years in the right seat waiting for the first possible upgrade. Today’s number doesn’t mean much.
that said, the plug ATL320A this month is an oct21 hire.
ATL73NA is mar2022.
ATL330B is mar20
Msp73NA is sep17
msp320A is jul16
msp330B is dec16.

all of the below are based off projections after everyone converts and the total number of pilots on the list today…
jr CA in MSP was hired in 2019 and has about 4.500 pilots junior to them
jr MSP330 FO was hired in 2017 and has about 5,500 pilots junior to them
ATL junior 320 CA has about 3,500 junior to them, 73N about 2,500.

IMO Delta One better on 767 than 330, but 330 pilots get a bunk so doesn't really matter.
