My first trip choice was "removed during shuffle".

My first choice trip was a carryout/slop and then I also had 12 or so domestic trips to fill up the remainder of the month. I'm assuming that the combination of my Asia trip and the domestic trips wouldn't give a result so it used the one Asia that's not a carryout?
Guess I shouldn't have split it up into 2 bid groups. The second bid group had my generic commands, but I'd always heard that shuffle is a good thing.......if you don't give it a lot to shuffle.

PBS is very step by step. If it gets to the end of the bid group and you do not have a line within the LCW, or min or max window if you've specified it and are senior enough to hold it, PBS will shuffle. Shuffling is essentially a substitution process to find a combination of pairings to fit within the window and give you a legal line without having to go to the next step of denial.
