And are these just Allegiant terms or it's a common thing? I'm unfamiliar.
For the love of God.. Can you atleast go back a few pages and do your own research? Everything you're looking for is here.

Including or excluding home study? I just did a MD-80 program at another airline with one week of home study CBT and 3 days of systems school.

You do realize that it's a fact that they use an Excel spreadsheet to make our schedules?? It's not a computer system, like they advertise?

Not trying to jump down your throat, but your statement about 'knowing how to bid' stood out to me...

They told the court that it was a function of the Merlot program that constructed the schedules. Therefore, manipulation was not possible prior to Merlot’s guidance. We wouldn’t lie to you…

It's true. Your schedule is not determined by Merlot, it's determined by one person using Excel, and the "needs of the company."
