Pilots in the closing categories probably (for the most part) only have MDs in. If their category remains open, they could miss out on AE and VD opportunities.
There will be riots if they try to half award this bid and leave categories open that were slated to close. It totally affects how people submitted their bids. If the rumors are true, they’d have to rebid IMO.
All valid points, however, based on DALs propensity to change their minds, I did bid many of the closing categories/bases. I guess maybe I just view my bid preferences different than others. As soon as I get awarded a category, I enter a standing AE (with % caveats) bid and input a robust displacement bid. In fact, I barely had to tweak my displacement bid that was input over 3 years ago when I was awarded my current fleet. I didn't even bother to remove the closing fleets/base as referenced above.
All that said, I agree with you that there would (should) have to be a rebid if they decided to change their minds of closing/opening bases/fleets.

Not sure why everyone is surprised by the "lack" of communication. In my short 6 years here, it's pretty much always been a mystery when the results will be published.
