Mostly true. They couldn't fill 767 FO or 320 FO in IAH. Still 10 open 320 FO positions on the January monthly bid in IAH.
The UAL pilots have already established lives in the UAL bases so why move to NY or IAH to fly something we can fly already? The pilots who bid theses bases were mostly Texas commuters looking for an easier commute.

So we could do it the other way too. If LCAL had furloughed then the LUAL IAH base would be staffed full because the furloughed LCAL would bid to be there.
See how this works.

Actually, someone failed to read the language (scope) and the company outsourced all the 737 flying to the big RJ's. Smart move on the company's part, however the parking of the aircraft had nothing to do with "getting the merger done".

I thought we were supposed to be united on this. JCBA, the last time I looked, meant JOINT Collective bargaining agreement. Should the lual pilots have received better rates on medical and LTD since they have more pilots?

Yup, and also your aircraft retirements for nearly zero net change in fleet size.
And ditto for L-UAL.
The latest update (today) indicates recalls will occur this spring @ L-UAL to cover summer flying due to retirements. Since recalls go in seniority order, this will most likely involve voluntary furloughees quitting CAL to return to their rightful seats and bases at L-UAL. Separately, L-UAL will also begin receiving 737-900ERs this year prior to "combined operations" if the SLI is even slightly delayed as expected.

I don't think this can happen as L-ual doesn't have a 737 training program setup. They were planning on using the established CAL program.
