Yes, there is a 2 year equipment lock. NCE can bid different bases, but OCC can’t bid anything else. I’m sure the company was having trouble actually getting OCCs to stay since a displacement allows bidding for other aircraft. New hire DECs are officially “bidding” the first day for that status, so they will be locked for 2 years (or until displaced once the CRJs leave).
