October '10 Bid's Strategy in Bidding and Christmas Tree

This month I had to bid around SIA dates. That became a bit complicated due to my not knowing the flight schedule for my transportation to and from the event. That said, I pieced together the trips that I wanted in the first three layers and I was sure to try and avoid the less efficient trips in the final layers. We had several four-day trips with 30+ overnights that paid on average 17 hours. I was able to avoid those by avoiding the 30+ hour overnight in LSE. That strategy has worked in the passed and it worked to perfection in this month... see line award.
