Basically, they cannot go to any CA seat and FO on nothing larger than the ER.

Point is to reiterate is that this is nothing more than a little slowdown. Probably the worst thing is having to go thru Va Ave again.

It saves you from being at the bottom of the category while they train the junior pilots.

That can also happen in categories with a high turnover like the 717. Ask some of your compadres that might be on that jet what the greenslip coverage is like. Or better yet, you can look it up on iCrew yourself. Just go to the Open Time menu and look at daily trip coverage. Anyone that has a G#1 is on their first double pay trip. G#2, second. etc...

Not quite. Anyone can bid into a new category, but they’ll have to take the remainder of their current seat lock and tack it on to the new seat lock. The only way to eliminate a seat lock entirely is through a displacement.

Only new hires (after 1 year) and first-time Captains tack on remaining category freezes to a new award.
