Doesn't always work that way. Two people can have way different credit ranges with the same days off depending on the productivity of their trips.

Here is a generic bid that I used as a junior Lineholder. I needed a particular day off. I also wanted to avoid red eyes and early start times for trips. It will awRd as few trips as possible to build you a line within the credit parameters.

The previous bid would usually give me 4 work groups...usually 4 four day trips and occasionally 3 four days and 1 three day.

Thanks for that! I was using the SET command for number of work blocks, then AVOID to reduce credit. So much to learn.

If you take out the avoid work command on that bid group, it will never fail. It puts every trip into the pool...it just prioritized them using the L-- vs the L-.

Are you a commuter? I didn't care what days I worked and I wasn't concerned with finish times because I drove to work. This bid would typically be a Thursday afternoon starting four day that paid 20-22 hours and Finished Sunday night at 2100. The schedules were very consistent.
