Yes, two classes in November. I'm sure there are Boeing new hire classes as well.

As soon as a new bid comes out, you’ll be able to bid into a different aircraft/base. You’re not seat-locked as a new hire. Only after you switch aircraft do you become seat-locked for 2 years.

We all know what you meant by seat lock, but just to remove doubt for anyone not on the property - you’re locked into that position and equipment for two years, unless you’re awarded an upgrade.
Example: You could be Airbus as a new hire, spend 4 years right seat there then bid Boeing FO, finish training and incur a 2-year “seat lock”, but then get awarded Airbus CA on the next bid. You could not get awarded Airbus FO.
Example2: You get Airbus FO as a new higher, then 6 months later bid for Boeing FO. After Boeing training you would have the 2-yr equipment/seat lock.

The latest huge bid closes before the first newhire class in October. Considering this bid is effective May 1 and takes care of summer staffing, a logical conclusion would be the next bid effective date would be around ~September. Effectively, newhires right now should plan on being on their plane until next Fall.
