On the reason report does it say the pairings you want were replaced do to line constraints?
What did you have selected for days off between work blocks?
Did you waive the 28 in 7? Or max duty days?
In the reason report what was the minimum line value for your line? What did you bid for? (credit range)
What days did you bid off? (If it was for the final four forget about it.)
The answer to the first question I asked is very important.
Some other things to consider. Bidding 70% with a bunch of low paying pairings makes it real hard to get 95 hours with 19 work days(or whatever the max is they can schedule us for).
First few layers I did specific pairings and included every combination of pairings that fit with the days I wanted off. ended up with a good amount of "replaced due to line restraints" last few layers I pretty much just opened it to give me anything. But with the CN's at the beginning of the month and the single layer 1 award standup made it a mess. PBS help line said that pbs was attempting to give me something around 96 hours which I would love to have. And I end up with 76 hours... So now I'm waiting till the 24th and going to post and swap and do what ever I can do get it a little better.
