Generally it does, with some exceptions. Section 22 G explains it.
12 G. Category Freeze
13
14 1. A pilot who is awarded an AE or VD will incur a 24-month category freeze, and an entry
15 level pilot will incur a 12-month category freeze.
16 Exception one: A domestic category pilot will incur a 9-month category freeze if:
17 a. the award is an AE or VD for the same status in an international category, and
18 b. he requires no qualification training, other than world-wide operations ground
19 school and simulator(s).
20 Exception two: Subject to
Section 22 G. 1. Exception one b., a pilot currently under a
21 category freeze may be awarded an AE or VD to the same position at a different base.
22 Exception three: A B-767/B-757 or a B-767/B-757 (International) pilot who is awarded
23 an AE or VD in the same status for the B-767-400ER and undergoes B-757/767 to B-
24 767-400ER qualification training will incur a 9-month category freeze.
25 Exception four: A B-767-400ER pilot who is awarded an AE or VD in the same status
26 for the B-767/B-757 or the B-767/B-757 (International) and undergoes B-767-400ER to
27 B-757/767 qualification training will incur a 9-month category freeze.
28 2. A category freeze applies to a pilot who is awarded an AE or VD whether or not he is
29 bypassed under Section 22 E. 14. A pilot who has been bypassed will be deemed to hold
30 the category to which he is being pay protected to determine his eligibility for another
31 AE or VD.
32 3. A pilot who, during his category freeze, is awarded a subsequent AE to the same position
33 at another base may be held in the category of his freeze until a replacement is trained
34 and converted. When such replacement is trained and converted, the pilot will be
35 converted in accordance with the subsequent AE.
36 4. A pilot who is under a category freeze and who has not previously completed training for
37 a mainline Captain position shall nevertheless be eligible to be awarded a Captain
38 position. In such event, the balance of such pilot’s existing category freeze shall be
39 added to the category freeze resulting from the Captain position award.
