I cherry pick specific trips and it works out great. Going through the bid package is too much work though. I just use PBS to filter out what I want and then bid specific trips. It didn’t seem to work very well when I was above 20% though. I’d get a trip once in a while, but usually what I wanted went senior anyway. If you live in base and don’t have to factor in commuting restrictions, it should work out much more junior. When I dropped below 15% it seemed to make a big difference. I avoid turns and red eyes and pick the most productive trip that is commutable on both ends, hopefully with a deadhead on the back side.
