You cannot down/lateral bid prior to the end of the seat lock period without a waiver approved by Vice President, Flight Operations (CBA 24.F.1.e.i). Each subsequent time you down/lateral bid the seat lock period increases. The period commencement date is based upon seat activation date.
In our most recent system bid management granted seat lock waivers because at the time of the bid, they forecast that our next bid was quite far away. So those participating in the bid in that situation had to have a waiver.
