To my understanding when pilots do bidding they can select any aircraft correct? Or just one or two? What would a pilot have to achieve to be qualified for 737 and 787

Generally you bid an aircraft based on the needs of the company you work for and what your seniority can hold. The qualifications you need are only what the company requires for you to get hired. Seniority takes care of the rest. If you’re looking to start flying I recommend some reading through the forums and searching online about training. I would stop worrying about a specific aircraft at this point.

Are you interested in an airline career or just trying to settle a bet or curiosity in asking this?

In the US, line pilots are generally not allowed to be current on more than one type, that's typically company policy or union contract.
It is possible for management pilots to be qualified on more than one type, and I've seen that a couple times.
I don't think there's any regulatory ban on line pilots flying more than one type in the US, but it's really not a great idea and the training burden would suck for the pilots in question.
