I'm very confused. Currently ATL M88B, I bid NYC73NB with a percentage and ATL 73NB w/ no qualifiers, and a bunch of buddies I know did the same. There were junior pilots awarded both categories. I know in the AE there was a statement that I couldn't make sense of, but just ignored:

"If we see a high volume of pilots leaving the M88B, we will not fill the posted positions; instead backfilling departed pilots will consume the training resources over the next few months."

...but there were other ATL M88Bs that were awarded other categories.

What in the actual ****?!?!?! So they can just ignore people's bids?!
