Thanks for the replies...the case you outline above is very clear, with most folks at FEDEX going this route.
What's new, and in question, is the 727 SO to 727 FO to 757 FO route --- when does the "seat lock" occur?
...after the upgrade to 727 FO? (i.e. you can't bid "laterally" to a 757 FO slot for 18 months, only "upward" to a wide-body FO slot)
OR
...after the "lateral upgrade" from 727 FO to 757 FO.
Without 2 narrow-body aircraft I don't believe we've had this situation before, but perhaps there was a precedence from pilots moving laterally between widebody FO seats or between widebody Capt seats within 18 months of being activated.
Thanks.
