Of the 11 trips I bid for last month, I was awarded 10.
Then PBS pulled 9 of those trips ('replaced/ not-awarded due to coverage dates') and awarded the trips to junior guys.
Point is, it doesn't matter what your seniority can hold when PBS deliberately ignores seniority. It's got nothing to do with how you bid.
