unless you meant just pick up and move residences to new base.
Same airframe lateral to another base would not incur any freeze. EWR 737 -ORD 737 would not carry a freeze. You get a 3 year freeze if you don't move up payband and don't change base ie EWR 737 - EWR 320.
8-D-2-a
When a Pilot is awarded an assignment through vacancy bidding and such award does
not move him from a lower-numbered band to a higher-numbered band in accordance with
Section 8-D-1-c, he may be ineligible to be awarded any other vacancy for (-1-) thirty-six (36)
months, if the Pilot did not change Base as a result of the award; or (-2-) twenty-four (24)
months if the Pilot did change Base as a result of the award. However, a Pilot shall be eligible
to be awarded a vacancy for a “lateral” award (i.e., change in Base only; Equipment and Status
remain the same, where ‘Equipment and Status’ is determined using the Pilot’s most-recent
vacancy or displacement award) without incurring an additional bidding freeze.
