This is correct. Also you can break any seat lock the first time you are awarded a captain position.

For NH seat/bid locks, does your clock start counting when you complete your 44X or when you started Indoc?

Not exactly. Your seat lock has to be up by the earliest conversion date of the AE.

I would say we have a category freeze. You can always bid on an AE. It's up to the Company whether or not to honor the category freeze. They usually do but sometimes they will release you for a more critically- staffed category. Happened to me a few years ago Ergo, always put in a bid you might want because you never know.
