They stay in the forward closet along with the FO's overnight bag.

I don't see a RP being necessary since the block time looks to be about 6-7 hours.
That's a haul to be crammed in that thing for so long. I remember doing a 7+ block on the -800 from BOS-LAX one time - not fun.

Bogata is a very unusual airport with many problems and issues. It was felt that since the flight was flown back side of the clock putting a RP pilot onboard was a good safety practice. Details were worked out between the company and union. It was and is a good practice given the airport and the rest issues on that rotation. Its a nice example of doing something right even when not required by the FAA.

I was just perusing the UCAL thread for whatever reason. It reminds me of the DAL NWA thread that was running on the ALPA national page pre-merger. Those were some angry defensive days. I hope it all works out for them.

I didn't know about the MOU for BOG, but I looked at the NY ER Dec parings and it has an A,B line and a B line for the RP, the route shifts to the 73 mid month, and there is only one line with A,B. The flight into Bog is now not on the backside of the clock though.
I looked up the MoU #13 and did not see anything that had to do with Bogota, it had to do with the ASAP program.

Super, and to anyone else. Call you Security Chair and Vice Chair about your concerns. I am sure they want to hear from you.
