2. If I'm going to a new category, would DAL send me to SRQ for my original category (followed by the line) until I can begin initial qual on the new category? Curious if anyone knows stories of this happening.
1. You still have your seat lock. You can always bid captain. But then you need to have the hours to upgrade.
2. The only scenario would be left seat upgrade. If you have the hours you will go into training for the seat. If not, you will go back to your old seat until you get the hours.
