If your seniority can hold it--and there are surpluses in your desired base or you are displaced from your current base--you can bid into the same equipment at a different base.
Look at the seat lock like a training contract (with certain exceptions). You can move to any base with that aircraft if you are seat locked without adding anything to the seat lock.
