Most of the ex-PRP pilots that went down to EF (ie the ones who were made redundant from mainline in covid) were allowed back up to LHR if they wanted before their freeze ended as part of a negotiation by BALPA I believe. I wouldn't bank the same being the case as a new entrant. Freezes usually last the advertised duration, sometimes a year less. You may get lucky with a bid before that, but don't assume it will happen just because it has happened to others!
