In general, there was no way to build an "if then" or "if not then" logic. The Jeppesen PBS allows this type of logic, but I can see how easily the Jeppesen system can become overwhelming. I'm glad they are planning several test bids so we can all get some practice first. Hopefully, a large enough group will take part in the practice sessions to make it almost real.
You'll do well if you learn the Boolean logic and have a clear grasp of what your seniority can hold.

Many pilots can do neither giving rise to an assortment of "conspiracy theories."
