idk what time perspective you have for events like these? But all else being equal, this result should illustrate there are rewards for pilots willing to put in the bid. Regardless of extenuating circumstances.
on the downside...what you bid/awarded isn't to your liking. so what? in a relatively short while there will be another opportunity.
If you didn't get what you want because of time gates? don't sit on reserve and not fly....get the time and when the next bid comes around....swing for the fence.
The opportunity will be there. And a large portion of the awardees in this bid will be locked....so mo'better for your chances.
good luck.
these are the best of times.
