Our owner pilots go through training and recurrent with us, at their own expense. I rode in the back while one sat up front with one of our IP's. Couldn't tell the difference from a regular line pilot. We're not talking about weekend flyers here. Probably more experience than those who question the safety of this program.
Crew members who wish not to ride are granted their request and travel via airline. I don't recall ever hearing of this option being chosen, but it is in the CBA.
