Section 24.K.2.C No freeze will result from an award to a Captain position, unless the award is to a turbo-prop Captain position as described in paragraph K.2.b. above, or unless the award is the result of a downbid (excluding a displacement). A pilot who downbids will incur a twenty-four (24) month freeze. A pilot may not exercise the right to downbid more than two (2) times (excluding a displacement).
Although that is not the question I originally responded to, you are correct. If you bid MKE CA and then have buyers remorse and decide to bid back to FO you will be seat locked for 2 years. But the post I originally responded to was about being immediaey displaced to CAE in a heinous company conspiracy. Go back and read my original post along with the post I quoted and I think you will see where the confusion is. I would venture to say we are both correct. Truce?
