And now that they're not being "displaced," and instead "bidding" for their aircraft, the two year seat lock may be in effect. This may not apply to the pilots bidding the 175 now, but I would use caution, as it may apply to DECs hired now, as we have a vacancy bid LOA covering this.
Yes early DECS are not seat locked as they were displaced from FO to Captain status. I believe you are correct as the LOA changed that.
