Currently there is a 12 month seat lock on the equipment you are awarded/assigned as a new hire pilot.
There are caveats to this. For example, if a new category is formed, pilots may bid and be awarded the position even if the are currently in an equipment freeze.
Also, first time upgrade award is not subject to current equipment freeze.
*Information current as of 12/07/15.

Why does it necessarily have to go away?
I actually buy the argument that some put out there that the low pay on the E190 would cause a constant bidding off of the equipment and coupled with the 1 year seat lock, would cost a ton of money in training cycles.
Wouldn't raising the E190 pay to 717 pay, or even 88 pay, solve a lot of the problems associated with a 1 year seat lock causing too many training cycles?
It actually seems like it shouldn't cost DALPA anything to raise E190 pay to where it should be, since it would help the company with the alleviating training cycles.

I left US Airways and the E190.... Good airplane. Lots of performance and as advanced as avionics get these days. There is definitely a huge training cost/surge over there as people bid both on & off the bird. Upgrade is about 1.5 years.... Then folks usually bid back to Airbus right seat because it pays more after about year 4 or 5 due to rates and schedule/seniority. Or they bid 75 or A330 FO. Better schedule, more pay, and better QOL. Lots of training surge....
