If we are bidding rotations:
(1) I want rotation A on the 19th
(2) I want rotation B on the 21st
(3) I want rotation C on the 20th
Will PBS build your schedule in sequential order of requests or will it give you A, then take that away and give you C?
Since I'm not going to be home, or making money, it becomes all about the layovers.
Also if bidding to avoid a pilot, do you put that first, or last?
PBS will indeed shuffle your rotations and possibly remove one; however, it will NOT do this shuffle above any "prefer" or "avoid", so if you put one at the bottom of your by-name requests it should leave any you get.
