If it's your dream airplane then you can always hold out on it. At least you have a choice. As a newbie you can't just say "no thanks, I'm going to wait until I can hold 777 FO"
Although no seat locks would be ideal, I can see the companies stance because you know there would be pilots that takes advantage of it and are always in training or whatnot.
