ASA - 70 vs. 50

[777forever]

If you're 700 trained you can bid back and forth with no additional training right?

 

[49W]

I'm pretty sure the new contract lets you bid back and forth now, so it really doesn't matter does it?

It looks like it's a 24 month seat lock when you go back to the 200:

Notwithstanding paragraph G.6.a., above, a pilot who bids for and is awarded a position with a lower hourly rate of pay will incur a twenty four (24) month category freeze​

And it also looks like it's at the company's discretion:​

7. Seniority notwithstanding, the Company may:
a. Bypass a Captain bidding for a category with a lower hourly rate of pay at the same domicile.​
