This seems like a significant oversight in the language of the LOAs.
April awards are getting withholding pay based on the way you bid for the April award. If you preference bid for CA you most likely will be getting withholding pay (CA rates backpay upon completion of IOE) from from around early April. If you proferred to displace then it would be from some time later than that in order or seniority.
Unfortunately there will always be some winners and losers with LOA’s.
