You get to see the final when it's done. Remember even though we're pilots it's not always all about you.
The MEC message doesn't say what exactly the challenge is. My guess is the problem with the bid is timing. It would seem the airplane is already staffed for 25 airplanes since the training is after its arrival. The award was simple, no cross bidding until that 25th airplane arrives, so the real question is why did management decided to bid such a large number of 787 captains and f/os instead of waiting 30 days?
Who'll defend their, management's, decisiveness first?
