Protected dates are removed from generated named awards, premium 2-day closers, and one-day filler candidates. Prefer Off remains peelable, so generic recovery can use those dates only if PBS needs to relax the preference.

| Step | Action | Note | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Start from default shell | Build one bid group with a Set Condition Minimum Days Off In A Row 2 line: hard avoids, premium named tiers, pairing-number avoids, then generic recovery. | Like the former BG2 recovery structure without the 3-5-on pattern preference or a Clear Schedule boundary, but Set Condition Minimum Days Off In A Row 2 preserves day-off blocks beyond minimum rest while still allowing standalone 1-2 day pairings. | default |
| Min schedule | Delete Set Min Sked unless low-time is the specific monthly plan. | Normal plan is selected; Set Min Sked would fight that plan. | decision |
| Vacation slide | Add vacation slide before trip preferences. | Minus moves vacation earlier; plus moves it to the right/later. | manual |
| Prefer off dates | Enter Prefer Off dates: 2026-08-01, 2026-08-02. | Protected dates are removed from generated named awards, premium 2-day closers, and one-day filler candidates. Prefer Off remains peelable, so generic recovery can use those dates only if PBS needs to relax the preference. | enter |
| Credit target | Bid the Normal credit window unless you intentionally change plans. | Threshold 78:00; estimated 4.7 trips at current good-trip average 16:45. | planning |
| Holiday pay | Skip holiday-first logic unless a holiday trip is personally valuable. | AUG is not one of the normal holiday-pay focus months. | skip |
| Carry-out credit | Decide whether end-of-period carry-out trips fit the month. | Use this before finalizing Tier 3/4 and fallback layers. | decision |
| Premium 2-day closer review | Save good premium 2-days as a dedicated closer section. | Save good 2-days in a dedicated Premium 2-day closer section after the premium multi-day named tiers and before the protected generic fallback. | monthly |
| Dream sheet | Use the named premium/elite tiers first in the single bid group. | Generated from scoring only; saved markers are reviewed separately and do not change this strategy. Keep generic lines below named premium tiers and pairing-number protection. | manual |
| Tier 1 protection | Add Tier 1 pairings one line at a time. | That is still the right move when you need PBS to protect a dream trip from junior bidders. | manual |
| Special-pattern review | Review AUA commute fit, splittable trips, Jacksonville overnights, and Austin overnights. | Mark as Tier 4 or DNF before relying on broad filters. | review |
| Default avoids | Enter structural hard avoids and pairing-number avoid protection in the single bid group. | List the pairing-number avoids once, directly above the generic fallback lines. | enter |
| Fallback bid | Add generic fallback only after premium tiers, premium 2-days, and the avoid list. | The avoid list must be active before generic lines can reach trips PBS cannot distinguish by quality. | fallback |
| PTO bridge / threshold filler one-day | Use one productive Mon-Thu one-day only as the final filler after generic recovery. | Use a productive weekday one-day only as the final completion filler after generic recovery. PBS cannot test the exact remaining credit gap, so line order plus Limit 1 is the protection. | bridge |
| Step | Action | PBS Entry | Value | Why It Matters | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Prefer Off protection | Prefer Off (Dates) | Prefer Off (Dates) 2026-08-01, 2026-08-02 | Enter Prefer Off (Dates) before pairing bid groups. It may be peeled back without discarding the pairing preferences below it. | enter |
| 2 | Manual avoid protection | Avoid Pairing Number | M2090 M2093 M2095 M2096 M2097 M2106 M2111 M2114 M2115 M2118 M2120 M2122 M2144 M2145 M2176 M2177 M2200 M2206 M2207 M2215 M2221 M2236 M2244 M2245 M2276 M2288 M2320 M2333 M2340 M2383 M2384 M2385 M2386 M2390 M2414 M2416 M2418 M2419 M2421 M2425 M2499 M2516 M2524 | One avoid list per bid group, entered ahead of the generic award lines so they cannot pick up a weak trip. It holds every saved DNF plus every generated weak-sister match, and is mutually exclusive with the named awards. Pairing-number awards do not need it, so groups without generic lines (pattern BG1) skip it. | enter |
| 3 | Premium named-tier attempt | Prefer these conditions together | Use premium named T1-T6 multi-day pairings only; Pairing Length 3-5; Average Daily Credit >= 05:44; Duty Duration <= 10:40; Duty Legs <= 2; Avoid Redeyes | Use premium named tiers and premium 2-days before the protected generic fallback. | enter |
| 4 | Weekend guard | Do not broadly relax weekend rules in fallback |
Weekend flying is safe inside primary rules when weak weekend-value trips are manually avoided.
Priority: Restrict weekends in fallback layers. |
Weekends are acceptable only when the trip still clears the quality stack. | watch |
| 5 | Premium 2-day closer review | Save as premium 2-day closers | M2098 M2099 M2100 M2101 M2125 M2126 M2127 M2129 M2132 M2159 M2160 M2174 | Place elite 2-days after premium multi-day tiers and before the protected generic fallback. | enter |
| 6 | Generic fallback layer | Use only after premium tiers, premium 2-days, and the avoid list | Pairing Length 2-4; Average Daily Credit >= 05:35; Duty Duration <= 11:30; Duty Legs <= 2; Avoid Redeyes | This is the recovery layer in the no-pattern bid group. | fallback |
| 7 | PTO bridge / threshold filler one-day | Small-gap one-day award line |
Award Pairings If Pairing Length = 1 Days If Average Daily Credit >= 06:00 If Departing On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday If Pairing Check-In Time > 07:40 If Pairing Check-Out Time < 23:00 Limit 1
Priority: Forget or relax the earlier one-day avoid only for this line; Avoid Pairings If Pairing Length = 1 Days; Use Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday only; avoid Friday/weekend one-days unless manually reviewed. |
Place this after multi-day fallback as the final completion line. Limit 1 is the practical guard. | bridge |
| 8 | Do not use alone | Avoid stand-alone broad filters | PBS-Visible Fallback Stack, Pairing Length 3-4 Days, Average Daily Credit Floor, Length-Based Total Credit Floor, Duty Duration Cap | These look reasonable in PBS but catch too many weak trips without companion rules. | warning |

One pairing-number avoid list sits below the named awards and directly above the generic fallback lines, so the broad recovery lines cannot pick up a weak trip. It contains every saved DNF plus every generated weak-sister match. Premium named tiers and premium 2-days remain above generic recovery. The one-day line is only a final threshold filler; re-avoid 1-days immediately afterward. Prefer Off (Dates) removes protected-date trips from generated named awards but remains peelable if PBS needs to relax it. Best one-day filler candidate dates: M2048 2026-08-26 Wed 06:33; M2049 2026-08-25 Tue 06:33; M2048 2026-08-19 Wed 06:33; M2049 2026-08-18 Tue 06:33; M2048 2026-08-12 Wed 06:33; M2048 2026-08-05 Wed 06:33; M2047 2026-08-27 Thu 06:32; M2047 2026-08-20 Thu 06:32.

One avoid list per bid group, entered ahead of the generic award lines it protects. It holds every saved DNF plus every generated weak-sister match and is mutually exclusive with the named awards.

Use a productive weekday one-day only as the final completion filler after generic recovery. PBS cannot test the exact remaining credit gap, so line order plus Limit 1 is the protection.
BG1 PTO bridge / BG2 filler line: Award Pairings If Pairing Length = 1 Days If Average Daily Credit >= 06:00 If Departing On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday If Pairing Check-In Time > 07:40 If Pairing Check-Out Time < 23:00 Limit 1
BG1 close: none; Clear Schedule is the next line.
BG2 close one-days again: Avoid Pairings If Pairing Length = 1 Days
Weekday guard: Use Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday only; avoid Friday/weekend one-days unless manually reviewed.
Keep one-days avoided until the final filler line, then immediately restore the one-day avoid.
