Wait, what are we talking about?

BTW, I'm not big into this whole AE stuff so what's the reason why VDs don't count this time on the 717 again? Because the 717 is new right?
Are you talking about the 24mo. Training Freeze in any old category, that doesn't count, but only if going into a New Category (717 in this bid)?
A VD is simply a more senior pilot who wants out of his category, but is too senior to be MD'd out, and there is no A/E (that he can hold) into another category he'd like to move to.
In that case, he can take the junior guy's MD (in his category) out, to try to get into that other category, but only if the junior guy who's MD he's VD'ng can hold that other category.
