MasterOfPuppets, you were not wrong if you meant what I think you meant. If you currently have a freeze you can still bid for DCA 787. This really only applies to current 777 pilots with a freeze and folks that have recently upgraded to Captain that want to go to the right seat of the 787. For everyone else it would be a move to a higher category in which the freeze would not apply anyway. You will incur a freeze upon getting an award but a current freeze will not keep you out.

"Note that pilots with an equipment-training freeze are eligible to bid for these ‘new’ categories."
