For example, everyone in your base wants christmas off. Pilots 1-50 get Christmas off. PBS sees there is a lot of uncovered trips over Christmas. Pilots 51-100 now have a coverage day on Christmas, being forced to fly a trip over Christmas. Now that some of those trips have been covered Pilots 101-125 gets Christmas off.

There is a steep and never ending learning curve with this software.
I got Christmas off last year bidding 84% in domicile exactly like this. I had no idea how until some people senior to me who we're working on Christmas showed me their bid and explained it.
