If I go to the -90, there is no freeze if I want to go to the -88 in another base. (MSP to NYC)
But, if I go to the -88, there is a freeze if I wanted to go to the -90, right? (NYC to MSP)
New,
The MD88 is the same category as the MD90 and they are all just called the M88 for bidding purposes. If you go from the DC9 to the M88 (which includes the MD90) you will incur a 2 year freeze.
From the email we got today:
DC9 vs. M88
The DC-9 and MD-88/90 are flown under the same type rating, but the differences are such that initial training is required for DC-9 pilots awarded an MD-88 category or vice versa. Therefore, DC-9 pilots awarded an M88 category and MD-88 pilots awarded a DC-9 category both incur a two-year category freeze.
