Does anyone know if there is truth to the rumor about a one-time opps, then being frozen in your current equipment? Thanks
The answer is depends.
PWA Section 11-J
If you are former NWA you may withdraw from 777,767-400,737,&MD88 if it's your 1st time on PMDL equipment.
If you are former DL you may with draw from 747,A330,A320 (with the same caveat,
If you withdraw before training there is no freeze.
If you withdraw during training you go back to your old equipment but are frozen for the duration of your bid freeze.
If the above doesn't apply to you, then you can get out of an AE only through the needs of the company and given how short most categories are I can't imagine that would be granted.
