Correct - we know there was a lot of back and forth between the US Navy and Scott Terry in the final days of negotiating the competition.
Before awarding the contract to $TMPS, the US Navy would have had to have satisfied itself with the fine detail of the overall time to get the aircraft into service - the main factor being pilot and flight engineer / refueling system operator recruiting and certification - operational availability and cost.
$TMPS current status with otcmarkets.com - which only has a Stop sign because it hasn't prioritized getting filings up to date - it was more important to close the Tristar acquisition, pay for the aircraft and maintenance and get a contract - isn't relevant when the main competitor isn't even a publicly traded company.
The huge advantage $TMPS has over Omega going forward is that - as a publicly traded company - it can buy ex-military tanker aircraft with shares without having to come up with cash.
There will for instance be 2 x Royal Netherlands Air Force KDC-10s becoming available in 2020 when they get their A-330 MRTTs.
The KDC-10 - whilst not as good as the Tristars - would be a useful addition to the $TMPS tanker fleet as they have a "flying boom" which can also be fitted with a "probe and drogue" adaptor.
