Bid for or avoid pairings that depart on a specific date. The Depart On Date is the departure date of the first leg of the pairing and not the check-in time.
Avoid Pairings bid example
Avoid Pairings If Departing On Oct 9, 2011
It filters out pairings that have a first leg that departs on Oct 9, 2011.
Award Pairings bid example

Award Pairings If Not Departing On Oct 9, 2011
It awards pairings that do not have a first leg that departs on Oct 9, 2011.
You can use If Not with Award Pairings bid preferences only.
The N-PBS Bidder will not allow you to add a Depart On Date outside of the bid period in your Current Bid.
