Partially correct. They were not able to bid another widebody FO seat or downbid to the 757 right seat. Nothing precluded them from bidding any Captain seat (obviously holding it is another story). Being able to bid a WB FO seat or any left seat as a 757 FO has nothing to do with where 757F falls in your standing bid.
