Best thing is to read the PBS Gouge. You can put them all on one line, and they will all have the same priority, and PBS uses its various logics to pick one.

Or, if you want you can put them on separate lines if you wish to prioritize.

Or, we have a fairly recent enhancement (May of last year) called "Pairing Number Departing On" where you can put lots of individual pairing numbers and their departure dates on the same line (saves lots of typing and separate bid lines). You can also choose to put a priority left to right...or not.

Again, the PBS Gouge explains it all.

If you used the trip#/depart on date bid preference and check ordered...it should award L-R if you can hold one of them.

I did "award pairings if departing on May 8 if pairing number 1,2,3,4,5,etc". 1 went senior, 2-4 junior, 5 senior, 6-8 junior, 8 senior, 9 junior and awarded 10.

As I understand it, if you didn't check award ordered on date (or something to that effect), then it will look at that single line without any type of priority left to right.

You might have learned the hard way

Cuz most of us have our own and really don't want to share a headset with all the germs! And I'm on the 75/76

If I am reading it right, you didnt use the pairing depart on date which is a fairly recent option. You select rotations with the depart date and you can select ordered or not. I think the way you bid it wont preferentailly order them.

Thanks Hockey, I knew there was something that changed to permit it without us making any additional changes.

For 10:30 each I'd be OK with CDO's as they were codified in the LOA. At 7:30, not so much for me.
