I've always been under the impression that CAs could only move to higher-paying aircraft, but I recently heard of one guy who upgraded to the 145, transistioned to the 170, and came back to the 145 because he disliked the 170. There's language in the contract that says the company isn't required to allow this, but I couldn't find anything that specifically prohibits it. I don't know if the company allows this in certain situations, or if the story is bull and nobody is allowed to do it.
