Disregard - I think from Scambos post above the answer is no seat lock for first CAPT bid.

If you have not previously completed training for a mainline Captain position, you are eligible to get an AE to a Captain position even if you are currently under a category freeze. The remainder of your category freeze for your First Officer position will be added to the new 24 month category freeze for your Captain position. As an example, if a 765 B still had 12 months remaining on a category freeze, he could be awarded a first time captain bid and would incur a 36 month freeze as a result.
