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.

Thanks Andy. Saw that but wondering how that plays with 8-D-2-A? Would going from 76T in one base to 756 in another be considered a lateral?

I think now that BATs are out you're frozen from going to the 756 considering the recency of your 76T award. At least thats how I read it.

My apologies, I thought you were wondering about bidding Bigfoot. I'm away from my laptop and probably wouldn't feel comfortable answering your 76T/756 question. Moving from either 76T or 756 to Bigfoot won't be a problem

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.

No problem bidding the 777 as long as you're not coming from a recent (24 months) qualification on a like pay airframe. I just don't think that you can currently bid into the 756 fleet if you qualified on the 76t in the past 24 months. (No more BATs)

I'm going to write planning tomorrow but I'm thinking it's different from a BAT because it's available through a vacancy bid and going into a different domicile.
