This is because they will assign all the unfilled Captain assignments to New Hires that will end up being 737 FOs for the next year. When all of those folks become eligible to actually go to 737 Captain school (or actually slightly before) you will see a bunch of new hires getting 737 FO assignments in SFO to replace the upgrading pilots
