My understanding of it was the flying they were bidding for was going to be accomplished by leasing the aircraft needed from ExpressJet. If that's the case, do you really think that TSA was actually going to be able to operate the feed for less? A hundred bucks or so in aircraft operating costs per hour far outweighs the differences in pilot salaries from industry standard.
