DUDE! I messed this up last month, do NOT enter them all on one--it's an all or nothing!
I ended up talking to the ALPA scheduling/PCS guy who explained it to me, it's even more complicated... If you were to put trip 1 on line 1, then trip 2 in priority 2, etc..., as soon as it awards ONE of the priorities, it stops for that PCS run!
SO, here's what you have to do:
1. Put all three on priority 1, that will be an "all or nothing" drop.
2. Put the two most important to drop in priority #2, this is the backup if priority 1 doesn't work. I'd leave the one out that you're most likely able to drop later or give away.
3. Put another combo of 2 in priority 3...
4. etc., another combo of 2 in priority 4, then worst trip as single in priority 5 and on.
Good luck.
