I have already more than 1000 121 PIC, but I can feel "it" eroding. Every month the phone doesn't ring I get a little dumberer, and when it DOES ring, it's another mind numbing Transcon or fluffy pillows to Frankfurt.
WBFO to NBFO does NOT incur a two year seat lock for initial (or any I think) upgrade. I could leave the WB for a NB, see the airplane and the system, and then upgrade. Or I could just do the long course, follow the FOM/FM and proceed cautiously.
Based on your previous comments, you would be ineligible to bid NBFO for about a year. Going down in category incurs a 2-3 year bidding freeze, but as
dmeg13021 said, it would not prevent you from bidding NBCA.
Unless you want to wait a year, your only option on the next vacancy would be to bid a CA category.
