Default FDX: Short Course Rules?

I can't find this info spelled out in the contract (though admittedly, I did not read every word in the training section), so I thought I'd ask around here.

Example:

Lets say you've been an airbus FO for a while, and you just finished up training as well as IOE for MD-11 FO. Now, an excess bid comes out, and you get kicked back to Airbus FO. What kind of training do you get?

I heard from one guy, if it has been less than 6 months from your last 6 month ride on the old plane, then you get some kind of short course. And if more than 6 months have elapsed since your last 6 month ride (CMV1 I guess?), then you get a full course.

But, I heard from other people who think if you've been off the first airplane for less than 2 years, then there was some kind of short course available.

Thanks for any info.
