You bid for vacation, and get denied. Then you bid for the days off you want, and you get CNed. Then you post the trip for pickup, and nobody picks it up. Then you call in sick or emergency and use your user/vacation bank to cover the hours. It will default to pulling from the user bank unless you call and ask them to take it from your vacation bank. Each day counts as a separate callout against your reliability, so if you call out on a 4 day trip, you get 4 demerits.

Fair. And especially with the captain shortage/imbalance, getting time off as an FO should be pretty easy this year.

Friend that's sitting around waiting for IOE sent me this re: training...
We’re excited to announce that as of March 1 we have expanded our training footprint to include two additional days of simulator training for initial and upgrading students. The initial feedback about this enhancement has been very positive and is providing additional time for pilots to become proficient in training elements before their validation events.
SkyWest is continually working to expand our training capacity. We currently conduct training in SLC, DEN, ATL, STL, CVG, Paris, and soon we’ll be adding Helsinki, Finland and Seattle, Washington. No other airline has more CRJ and ERJ simulators for pilot training. This is an essential component of our formula to respond to pilot staffing and to be ready for growth opportunities.

This is good for the company if it works out that way, but I still wonder 1- how many will actually show up to class. 2- how many will actually be here at the end of class. And 3- Summer is nearly here. If they only have decent numbers for a few months what is the plan beyond that?
Any FO's living in or near a Spirit/Frontier base will almost certainly be gone in under 12 months on top of the bleeding of captains. As others say, they really need to pony up on the pay rates and QoL immediately if they want to keep CAs and FOs for long enough that their investment in them pays off. Hoping SGU has a plan is all I can say.
