If the 757 is your last choice on your bid then you don't incur a seat lock and are free to move when the next system bid occurs.
Class seniority is based on the last four of your SSN. Highest number equals higher seniority.

I thought the seat lock only applied to lateral or down bids. If you bid a higher paying seat, isn’t that allowed with some kind of cumulative extension to the lock you already have?

I would go to Empire if they had some kind of flow to FedEx but to my knowledge nothing of the sort exists right now.

However, since they're going to train you the same way regardless of your past experience and there's also no guarantee you would be assigned the 767 as your first position, it's possible that they don't care at all.
I would value the 767, if it were up to me.
