I highly suggest sitting down with your favorite beverage and reading the entire Allegiant Air thread. It has some dated information in it, but it will give you an excellent idea of the background of Allegiant plus answers to a lot of the questions that you ask.

With that being said, the airplane assignments offered in each class is purely at the discretion of the companies needs at the moment. It may be all AB, all MD80 or a mixture of the two. You bid for the airplane and available base assignments by seniority within your class. Your seniority in your class is determined by the last four digits of your social security number with the lowest number being the highest seniority.

OAK is a very junior base, however there is no guarantee that it will be offered in every class. If you don't get it in the first bid, you get an opportunity every month to bid from that months list of available bases. However, are bids are about 6 months in advance (in July, we are bidding for December base vacancies) so if you don't get the base you want initially, you will spend at least 2-3 months after training in your initial base award before moving on.

If you are awarded the MD80 at this point, you will be pretty much LAS or SFB until those bases transition over the next two years.
