Maybe a better question is, how does bidding for bases work at Allegiant? If you have the time to explain..
There is a standing bid where you list the aircraft/seat/base in the order that you want them. They are supposed to go in seniority order when they award openings. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. The person that is (or maybe was) in charge of doing the bid bid awards just couldn't seem to get it right without having at least two or three revisions to the award.
Sometimes they also award openings when there are no official openings, and sometimes they don't award openings when there are openings. Hopefully the contract negotiations can put some language together to straighten out the whole process.
