It does not mention when the bid closes only when the vacancies are posted.
The way I read the above - If the vacancy or surplus is posted prior to SOC - it will be limited to the pre-merger group. Very confusing and I would not bet any $ on it.

I think the key word is POSTED. I can interpret it either way. I can read that any vacancies posted prior to SOC are restricted, but I can also read that if the AWARDS are posted POST SOC then they aren't restricted. Confusing?
I could see it interpreted two different ways, & that means management can use either option to their advantage IMO. Kind of like the whole counting large RJs thing.
