My understanding is that it's the
start of the training window that determines if a seat lock applies or not; the close of the AE itself isn't a factor.
By that math, the AE's period begins tomorrow, 31 Jan; any class(es) on or before that date were eligible to bid off.
If I'm wrong, someone will be along shortly to correct me....
EDIT: Got curious, took a look at the master seniority list for Jan. #11365 was the plug for the 27 Jan class, the last that started before 31 Jan 14. On the AE award, I see one guy who from the 13 Jan class who bid off the DTW717 for the DTW73N. All the other 717Bs who left appear to have gone to the SEA73N (so seat lock n/a) or have been hired prior to 2014.
