I doubt the company would get a seat lock like that, it's always been one year.
I would bet that the company gets more then one year for a seat lock on the 175. Chip on the jumpseat said the other week that they want really high fences on the 175 for training costs, if you only put a one year seat lock guys will bounce back and forth between the two jets.
