JSS tries to build you a complete roster and you can certainly have a go at completely blocking work you don’t want to do. But if you don’t get a complete roster with the trips remaining, you enter a phase called fallback which incrementally changes the conditions of your bid. As a junior, if you’re asking for stuff that isn’t left by the time it gets to you, you’ll enter fallback and then control over what you asked for flies out the window.
The inhibitors are powerful though, and even in fallback, they are honoured (at least, that’s my understanding).
