You can PDR it to be 100% sure… but when the next vacancy comes available (weeks?) it will specifically state if seat lock can be broken…

Per 8-D-1-e and 8-D-2-c, Pilots who have an 8-D-1 Equipment Training Freeze or 8-D-2 Bidding Freeze will not be restricted from bidding into MCO or LAS. MCO and LAS will be considered new bases (and as such, contain “new” categories) for six months past the initial opening effective date.

You just change any off days that you would be willing to fly to a VDO and scheduling will call if they need you (you get 50% add pay from the first VDO through the end of the trip). You have no obligation to accept any trips they actually offer or even answer/acknowledge the call if you are in an off day. You'll get one of your regular reserve days removed for every VDO day you are used.
The catch is that the company does not use VDOs often and they are usually short notice.

The instructor in my last recurrent said half of the 757’s would be gone by now IF the Max/Neo/Xlr deliveries were on time. The 756 should shrink to zero in next 7 years. 757 first, then 767. Of course plans change. I’ll bid off it when I start going backwards in seniority.

14 767-3 ( Heathrow special seating planes), 21 757-3 and 16 767-4 will be around till 2032
And after that, all will be replaced with 787s from the options batch and 321 XLRs
