All of the above is theoretically accurate, except for our contractual “g-line”, above which all bidders are guaranteed a legal flying line. This results in some trips that senior bidders would ordinarily hold being awarded to junior bidders to make their schedule legal (or “feasible”). This can also result in a bidder getting a reserve schedule while a junior bidder gets a line due to constraints somewhere in the month. The result is *mostly* by seniority while meeting contractual restrictions.

The BAT is a great tool QC tool to verify your bid for legality but in no way should be construed to resemble your actual award.
