The threshold question is now WHEN is SOC going to occur?
Considering the taxiway landing and the MSP overflight, the FAA may not be in a mood to look as if they're rolling over for Delta/Northwest.
We may get a delay in SOC approval just for FAA public relations purposes.

Can they do the bid before SOC with the conversions not officially taking place until after SOC?

The motivation and goals of the mailing were to have the candidates go to the pilots in the form of a q and a where they could make their decisions based on the merit of the answers each candidate provided, not the candidate that sent it, nor the candidates that paid for it.
Did one or more of the candidates pay for this questionaire to be distributed? If so who?
Was the pilot who asked the questions a supporter of one or more of the candidates?
I ask just to know if this really was a non partisan questionaire.

David Nestor thought this was a good idea
Politics is ugly and the simple fact is that Candidate Nestor and many other that contributed to this document want the pilots to make an informed decision. Fact is that except for you and the vice chair candidate Nestor's avenues of communication have all been positive. He seeks transparency of the issues that face our union. Do not distort the facts.
He has the support of many who seek greater union transparency.
The fact that the Imperial Guards have felt the need to come out and attack Candidate Nestor is all I need to know. He's got my vote.

That being said, fear of a SOC delay may be why there has been such swift action. Management might be acting a little more harshly in order to keep the intergration moving along.

On the contrary. The NTSB said these guys were busy learning the Delta PBS system. That's why they had their laptops out. The FO was teaching the Capt how to bid. Its directly related to the merger.

I disagree with you as it was them using their laptops that was the problem, NOT what they were using their laptops for.

I do not know why you see these as one sided. They are the questions that the candidates are getting in their in box daily by a ton of pilots. Why not just send them out to the pilots and take the message to them and not do it so secretly.
