Freeze?
A little unsure about how freezes work these days. Need an assist. I would like to go to the 777 sometime this year. I currently reside in the 76T fleet which I came to a few months ago from a lower band AC. I'm considering going 756 via vacancy since BAT is going away. Would this have a negative effect on my ability to go to the 777 when a vacancy opens for it later this year?
I read the language and the info on the BAT going away but am still a little unsure.
Thanks in advance.

Hey Andy, you didn't misread it. Thanks for your help. I would like to go to the Triple but would like to go to the 756 from the 76T until I can get the 777. I'm wondering if going to the 756 from the 76T would affect my ability to bid the 777 later this year. I'm not sure if 8-D-2-A would be applied in this case or not.
