ok, someone smart on PBS?

This isn't a class bid vs carman rant.....I screwed myself in both systems.

Warning to all, THC is in the carryout month if you do the big Asia trips (I knew this but forgot, I normally don't do carryout). IE, mine only has 2 days in March but it takes 32:44 into March. My mistake, but here is the real question.

It did give me a trip earlier in the month as planned to fill me up, but without the THC I ended up with 70:39 or just under 5 hours short.

So then it goes to my generic bids where I give it:

avoid check in earlier than 1530
avoid check in later than 1630
avoid redeyes
avoid carryout
award less than 3 limit 1
award less than 5limit 1
etc

I thought it droped the avoids from the bottom up, if necessary? Because it didn't honor the avoid redeyes (good) but then honored the check out time and didn't honor the check in time. Not a big deal, but it stuck me with a hotel that I though going bottom up would have avoided.

In the old carman system I did this in multiple bid groups, so in that respect the new way is easier.....once I really understand it.
