Answer via dart:
If you are assigned TO a WB captain position from a WB CA position: Once there, and if activated, then a future System Bid occurs, you will need to be activated in the WB captain seat for 24 months in order to receive a lateral WB Captain crew position. The 24.F.1 restrictions don’t “look back” on how you got there, it just looks “forward.”
And based on the vague question you asked, that answer is correct. You basically asked that if you were assigned out of your WB captain seat, would you be subject to a seat lock in a subsequent bid from bidding any other WB captain seat. If you had asked if you had a right to return to the same seat you held before, the answer would/should be different. Vague questions result in generic answers. Your initial post stated that you couldn't go back to the seat you held before if a bid was held 18 months later even if someone junior to you could hold it. That is not true. That scenario is not what you asked in your DART according to this post.
