February '10 Bid's Strategy in Bidding and The Christmas Tree

I didn't do anything out of the ordinary this month. I bid for one day off, Saturday the 13th which is Bailey's birthday party. She'll be two this year. I bid pairings in my first and second layer and left the rest to criteria. We'll see how that works out. I decided this month to not bid a target credit range because of the lack of hours I received. With any luck, bidding max credit by itself will do the trick. Also with the removal of so many locals this month, I didn't bid any. My layer 7, with no locals and criteria still account for 47.2% of the total COS trips. Bidding restrictive like that is a bit of a gamble however, it has worked for me in the past. We should see the results tonight!
