> It will stay bailed unless there is leakage

"Bailing" stops as soon as you let up on the handle. In the 24/26 systems letting up on the handle also depletes the actuating pipe (which has released the locomotive brakes). As another post has mentioned, if you make another brake pipe reduction you must bail again, and the same is true for brake pipe leakage.

> If there is leakage the independent pressure will come up accordingly,

The only time the independent pressure increases occurs when you deliberately make an application with the independent brake valve (and these cannot be released by bailing). The locomotive brakes brakes will apply every time a brake pipe reduction is made, deliberately or on account of leakage. Same brake cylinders, two different causes.
