There are times when the VIPS codes won't give you the highest paying line you could of got. The best thing to do is use FastBid and sort the lines by highest paying line with and without carryover. You end up doing two sorts and manually merging the sorts.
If you only bid highest paying without carryover, you may miss some lines that are high paying and have a very short carryover on Sunday night.
You only need to worry about it for the lines that pay more than 68/85 hours right now. Once you get below that, it's all the same so throw the code for highest w/o carryover, any VTO and any RSV.
2 sorts are not required in FastBid - just select MAXBLG and no secondary sort parameters. It will sort the lines in Highest to Lowest BLG order with and without c/o.
You can bid the lines with c/o and you will be paid the portion of the c/o trip that falls in that month. You just don't get the remainder of the c/o in the following month.
One other thing to look at is sometimes RLG is greater than the lower paying lines and VTO's are built to average BLG if you are in training the entire month.
It takes a little work if you are junior but you can maximize pay for training.
