According to the CBA 25N4

The Company may advance assign a VLT trip prior to the open time assignment window subject to the following:
a. AVA shall be available and assigned to all eligible pilots beginning 7 days prior to showtime for that assignment, based on the reserve forecast.
b. A trip is eligible for AVA assignment only if the trip has a showtime:
i. between Thanksgiving day and December 31; or
ii. during a bid period in which the Company has requested voluntary vacation cancellations in the pilot’s crew position; or
iii. during a bid period in which the Company has involuntarily canceled a vacation in the pilot’s crew position.

Like someone said, if every OT trip is immediately picked up by guys wanting to consolidate, we won't see AVA (not that I fault them, as I will not wait for AVA if I see a hometown layover in OT).

Really??? I'll assume that he's a wannabe FedEx pilot? I'm not sure that I'd be poking my finger in the eye of potential fellow pilots (and Management)?
We all know that Management monitors these forums despite their denials.

Good luck with your interview.
