This isn't spelled out in the bullet points but you can hear it for yourself if you make a call and ask.
The bullet point specifically says that any UAL pilot can bid CA as long as they meet the FAR minimums. So if these unfilled CA positions show up in a new hire class drop and these positions are the only thing left, they will be forced into these spots. Whether they want them or not. That's where the forced part comes from.

Not saying it's enough to kill a deal, but it's a bad idea. Instead of further addressing the things that make these spots go unfilled, all they'll have to do post TA is force folks into these spots. Forced into the seat and forced to be reserve for their two years in the left seat with no option to bid off.
