Not Cog16 but I'll give it a try (regarding proactive engagement)

How about....get crew resources to run daily mock bids up until bid closing ( ala UAL). This MOAD bid is novel and although there are some potential "gaming" pitfalls associated with a mock bid, it would be better than the, "Oh shiznit, How the eff did that happen" which I envision being said by some after this bid.
