but just a couple things. The 1 year left on your seat lock will carry over to your next fleet. So if you get awarded SLC320 in a year, you will have 3 year seat lock. Also, like I said this rule only applies to new hires. Essentially if the base you want is not on the fleet you got awarded as a new hire there is this 1 year relief. After that you cannot use this rule anymore.
