Bid for or avoid pairings with a release after, before, or at a specific time, or within or outside a time range. The pairing check-out time is the release at the home base on a single-day or multi-day pairing.
Avoid Pairings bid example
Avoid Pairings If Pairing Check-Out Time > 17:00
It filters out pairings with a release time after 5:00pm.
Award Pairings bid example
Award Pairings If Pairing Check-Out Time Between 19:00 And 23:00
It only awards pairings with a release time between 7:00pm at night and 11:00pm.
Reminder: Time ranges go from 00:00 to 23:59. If you want to create a time range that goes from a late time to an early time, you need to create two separate bid preferences. The first from the late time to 23:59 and the other from 00:00 to the early time.
For example, a time range from 20:00 to 04:30 needs two separate bid preferences, the first from 20:00 to 23:59, and the second from 00:00 to 04:30.
