For example, let’s assume LAX737CA’s has a staffing MIN of 96 and a MAX of 102. The final award has 100 active pilots. An award of a 50% bid would mean your seniority is in the top 50 pilots of the category. This % is a point in time, at the time of the award. Changes in staffing at a category can occur due to new vacancies, displacements, and other types of assignments."

The way that paragraph is worded in the vacancy bidding screen is why I wasn't completely sure 100% is 'I'll take it if I can hold it at all.' I wanted to make sure 0 or 1% wasn't the correct choice. But that wouldn't make any sense.
Bid was in 48 hours ago for ORD 777 F/O. Seniority can hold it based on the snapshots but the award has not been on the last two snapshots. Wanted to make sure 100% was the correct selection.
