Thought a PBS bidding question thread would be good..

Yes, calling the PBS helpline is always an option, but I've found some of the feedback I've received here over the years more helpful and applicable over the years.

When bidding to fly with a LCA does it makes sense to put it above other preference qualifiers? Or below?

I'm using EasyBid and when I place the Fly with Line Check Airman preference qualifier high up on the list, it appears as though the bid pool for most of my preference qualifiers shrinks or disappears altogether. I'm guessing it's because the Captains lines would need to be completed first before it can analyze the Fly with Line Check Airman preference. I'm further guessing that if I am not senior enough to hold that preference then it will start moving down the list to line by line attempting to honor each preference.

Just trying to prevent screwing myself and yes I am junior to you.
