That kinda hoses everyone who put in early and now don’t have a chance to see how it will effect their seniority.
i think you might be misinterpreting the email. The way I read it it’s just like monthly bidding. Award out on the 21st then a 24 protest period (like the email said in case of any clerical errors) and then the final award on the 23rd.
Not sure why seniority would matter. If you take VSP who cares how many people above or below you took it. And the seven day withdraw period only applied to VSP.

Seniority post-VSP could be a factor, but we're talking about the top of the FO list who aren't really VSP candidates. Still...
An older FO who can't upgrade now (or who may never upgrade) but who might be able to upgrade if VSP and EXTO results in a huge CA/FO imbalance, might choose to stick around, upgrade, and spend a few years on the CA scale before retirement. If that same older FO isn't going to get close to the upgrade cut after VSP though, he/she might decide to take VSP, go home and get another job.
It's just one more what-if or course, and it probably applies to... maybe...? a dozen FOs who are both senior AND old enough that they weren't counting on spending much (or any) time in the left seat anyhow?

I know someone taking VSP and he was a July 2017 hire.
