Default Bidding aircraft and bases

Do new hires bid bases and aircraft or are they assigning them? I heard from someone that they assign them to you.

How is seniority in class determined?

I guess day 1/2 restricts selection to 747/MD-11 or 757/767/A-300 respectively.

If you have any experience with the military it is kind of like that.... you fill out your "dream sheet" push it up with your rank order of all planes.... it goes through a gonkulator and a result is spit out yes in seniority preference. Oldest gets their 1st choice (if available or on down their list), second oldest receives their 1st choice (if available), so on and so fourth...PFM
