I didn't post the whole sentence. Here's the whole sentence from TWG 09-04:
"As a result, awards or assignments to any vacancies or surpluses posted prior to SOC will be restricted to pilots within their respective pre-merger fleets."
It's the date when the AE bid, with its vacancies or surpluses, is posted that is the bright line that determines when you can cross premerger lines, not the date of the awards or assignments, which typically happen a day or two after the bid closes.
