Forgive my ignorance. I don't understand the lingo. I can tell your situation sucks, but beyond that I don't really get the problem.

"Going out to bid" = what?

Does that mean DHL is looking for someone other than ABX to fly those 4 jets? Are those 4 jets for sale?

"rest of planes go next" = whose planes? Go where?

everyone "competing" for what?
