I will agree that an "entry level pilot" does have a category lock IAW with PWA 22.G.2
However, PWA defines "Entry Level Pilot" as a pilot that hasn't finished initial OE...once you finished IOE, you are no longer an entry level pilot.
And, take a look at this recent AE results....hell there are entry level pilots on that list that haven't even started IOE yet (EDV flow) and they went from NYC to ATL.
The M.O of the company is they treat it as a 24 month seat lock, not a category lock.
I will write to my LEC to recommend that inconsistency / confusion in that language get cleaned up.
So for clarification’s sake, if one were to hypothetically drop NYC220 in indoc, when is the soonest they could get to another base that doesn’t have the 220? 1 year?
