Are you a new hire or transition? If you're a new hire welcome to Oakland, you'll probably be there until the next round of hiring. If you're a transition pilot, I'd recommend bidding for MDW. It's commuter friendly, they have many crash pad options within walking distance of the airport. PHX is probably not a good idea IMHO. I was bumped a couple times trying to catch the PHX-CLT USAir flight by other pilots. Turns out a lot of the USAir folks make that same commute. Vegas flights always seem to be full especially if you're flying out on a Thursday or Friday. Don't know too much about BWI. Good luck.
