Yea, that's what seems to be the case. It makes sense to some extent, especially with the complexity of the award and associated movements.

That's what I'm most upset about. If they would have let everyone bid - the result would have been more or less the same with the exception of where the TDY's were coming from. I could see holding from other aircraft types, that becomes more complex, but it should pretty much be a wash in type. But I'm no expert...
