Is there a seat lock if you bid into a new category. I'm thinking about bidding NYC C-Series. If I get that AE am I seat locked? It would be my 1st A seat with Delta if that makes a difference?

Yes, you will incur a new 2 year seat lock. However, since it is a new type, if you currently have a seat lock you may still bid for the C10. Likewise, you do NOT add whatever is left on your current lock ontop of the new 2yr C10 seat lock.

I think most of us have done it that way.

How many pilots does the company usually have trained on a new type before line operations start?

What I am wondering is if a relatively senior pilot bids C10B and ends up in the top 5 or so, does that mean when the plane first shows up that he or she will fly right away when there are only a few pairings created, thus really losing seniority until those junior are all trained?

You could say you could convert after junior or whatever that is, but what if nobody bids it and all the seats go to new hires? Would you be stuck as one of the few trained that actually bid it and get bad trips?

Came here to say that. I've done swaps that went through for worse day better logic.

We have it. Some don’t understand however that it’s dynamic and you could be denied a swap even though the numbers showed it good because the numbers change as each swap is processed.
