1. Prefer off December 25, 24, 26, 23, 12, 05
2. Prefer off December 25, 24, 26, 23, 12
What is going to happen in denial is (after it has removed all the lower negative preferences) is remove the 12th, then the 23rd, then the 26 and so on from line 2. Then it will move up to line one and remove the 5th, 12th, etc.
Thanks 1234! That's how I thought it worked. The bottom line in my bid is essentially the first line which is the one I want it to start going into denial with if it comes to it.
Here is another question: Is it better to start out less restrictive and work to more restrictive or vice versa? Example:
1. Prefer off Dec. 25,24,26
2. Prefer off Dec 25,24,26,27
3. Prefer off Dec. 25,24,26,27,23
I'm thinking having a bid like this that eventually encompasses all the days off that I want is the way for me to go.
