Wow, I heard almost exactly the same thing from some when I upgraded to the 900 instead of the Saab. Now mind you this was from the same more senior guys that could have bid the 900 but chose the Saab for the better schedule. Then when they started getting parked and the schedules went to hell, it was somehow my fault for already being on the jet getting the now bigger pay.
Bid what you want. Don't blame others for doing the same thing. I agree the Bloch integration was garbage, and you should be giving it to your merger comitee for dropping the ball big time. But at this point, it's over, bid what you want in the order you want.
