"The expectation is that all United pilots would compete for those vacancies for which training and advancement has not been scheduled, based upon their new seniority."
Of course the capt numbers don't match so maybe it is a bad theory...

I'm not sure. What does the JCBA say about staffing? I'm guessing this is in LOA 26 or whatever. I'm sure no one cares, as long as its within the JCBA.

The JCBA Section 8, Staffing, specifies that bid awards for United Airlines be Vacancy Bids, very much like the current system under which the United Pilots are familiar. However, the Joint Implementation Team (JIT) was unable to reach agreement on early implementation of the JCBA Section 8 Vacancy bids for the Continental side of the operation. As such, the company utilized the Continental System Bid while transitioning. This should be the last CAL System Bid as all future bids should be fully implemented under the United Pilot Agreement (UPA) Section 8-C Vacancy Bidding provisions.

Nice selective quoting...
How about next time you quote a source you use the whole email letter.
or maybe it would be too much of an emotional impact on you.
The CAL Contract 02 is still in force with regards to system bids. There is no "march timeframe" for transitioning to Section 8 of the UPA.
LOA 26 Item 102, or page 475 of the UPA

And for the same reason as this one.

The Company felt that it needed to put a bid out now in order to get pilots trained and in place for the big M5D credit increase slated for September.

Dear Fellow Pilots:
A CAL 737 base in SFO, while permitted in the TPA extension, would have had an emotional impact on the United Pilots.
