Correct? Starting Monday. Thanks again!
Also, I should mention that holding a line is more important to me than having MSP right off the bat.
Well, you've got two competing priorities there. If you value having a line quickly the highest, then bid the -200 in whatever order of base preference you want, as you did in your example. If you value having MSP right off the bat, then bid -200 MSP first, then -900 MSP, then the other -200 bases, then the other -900 bases.
If you want MSP because you live near there, I would try to get MSP in either aircraft over having a line quickly. Having a line quickly is nice, but it can't make up for the amount of suck that commuting to reserve is versus being on reserve in base even if it's for a longer time. If you're commuting either way, then go for what will get you a line quicker.
