Even if you were awarded a wide body, a FDA (CGN or in the past HKG) assignment waives that two year seat lock. So if during the next system bid you were senior enough to be awarded CGN (the last two bids didn’t fill to max staffing so any seniority could have held CGN), you could go. The 767 fleet is a transition course which is much shorter than if you had any other wide body which would require a full ITU. 757 would just be a base transfer. Hope that helps.
Once awarded CGN from a system bid, you’d get there quickest from MEM 75. Any other aircraft would require you to bid for training and there’s really not a great way to guess timeframes on when people bid for training.
