From what I was told, basically the only people the out of base white slips beat out are short call pilots.
I tried to out of base white slip a few months this year and found out that they weren't nearly as easy to get as I thought they would be.
OBWS's are awarded anytime in the manual coverage process. That is anytime after the 7 am window the day prior. In the coverage ladder they fall after in base reserves but before any premium flying.
