They can bail and the ord stays alive. As long as they do not start another sortie, the ord stays alive.
I assume this also applies to troops left to run from a GV, if the guy towers and ups a C47.

Better yet, make it when you bail from your plane. Also if you bail from a ride with absolutely nothing wrong with it, a 15 min waitin the tower should be in order.
Some guys intentionally bail to help counter an NOE. Where as bailing to counter an NOE could be considered gamey, without it NOE's I fear would be the standard modus operandi.
Perhaps a better alternative would be to disallow the use of the bailers original field for 15 minutes. There by forcing them to use another field.
