Asked a couple of folks and there's some confusion. I'll call ALPA scheduling when I get back in the states, but hoping someone has the answer here first. Thanks!
To my knowledge, bidding minimum credit doesn't affect your ability to get a line. The system will give you a line if it can... even below the threshold. Bidding minimum credit just stops the system from adding an additional trip or two that would still be in the line construction window.
