I 'thought' I have heard in some circumstances that pilots have carried "training freezes" into new equipment, similar to the example presented above. I just 'skimmed' the CBA, and only found the wording below. Maybe someone with better versing on the topic can answer??
Not true. There is a 2 year freeze on equipment UNLESS you are moving to a higher category or upgrading. 737 FO can move to 756 FO without incurring the two year seat lock. Once on the 756 you can go to 777 FO or 737 CA in the same manner. However, if you get 756 FO as a new hire you cannot go to 737 FO for two years.
Part 7 - Initial Assignments
Newly hired pilots will receive an initial assignment. Initial assignments will be made based on the pilot's preference, in seniority order, from BES vacancies made available to that class of new hire pilots. A newly hired pilot's initial assignment will be his starting BES for the subsequent System Bid or Adjustment Bid Award. A newly hired pilot will receive an Equipment Freeze.

Technically you could "upgrade" again and have all 3 freezes added together.
