Not any more---it changed with the UPA. It's now basically the UAL system with the CAL percentage option added.
IMHO, every CAL pilot should read 8-C of the UPA in its entirety while 8-C-3-b specifically mentions the inclusion of percentage bidding.
Also for clarification the vacancy (i.e. equipment) bids are run as needed, which is not necessarily correlated to monthly.
