There is no seat lock for new hires right now. The 24 month seat lock your talking about is if a pilot voluntarily moves to a “lower” paying position (any CA to FO or any 900 to 200- except for 900FO to 200CA) And For FOs moving between aircraft, the freeze doesn’t prevent upgrades, but upgrade incurs a 12 month seat lock.
This isn’t the place where you can get a preferred aircraft from the recruiter and wait until that airplane is available. If they do start a training freeze for new hires, it won’t start til January 1st at the earliest and will only be 18 months from Date of Hire, and will allow aircraft changes for a brand new base.

Your frozen on aircraft (not base) for 18 months. So if you were on the 200 then your on the 200 for 18 months. The freeze doesn't affect you if you upgrade or if a new base opens that wasn't available when you first bid for your aircraft assignment.

That being said, for all the Pros and Cons in this TA, the pilot group consensus is “meh” at best.

The freeze is attached to the agreement currently being debated. So if the agreement is approved, the freeze would become effective Jan 1, 2018. It would prevent switching of aircraft for 18 months except for upgrade or if a new base opens up.

There are roughly 300 voters who will be effected by the freeze to one degree or another - from 7 days to 4 months of possible freeze. If you are worried about the freeze being retroactive, you can bid on the next vacancy to your preferred aircraft, union says it should be in mid November. The freeze only applies retroactively to positions awarded after Jan 1.

Bear in mind I am using an uncalibrated crystal ball here, but I don't foresee many more 200 hew hires. The past few classes have all been 900.
You will have the least amount of time on RSV in NY, but I'll let someone up there tell you whether JFK or LGA is better.
