When you are initially assigned to a base, call it OAK for example, how long are you there for before you can bid for another base? How long have you been on reserve already that you might have a line in August?
You're welcome. The guys in my class (mid March) were assigned either OAK or MCO. Most new classes are assigned OAK. By July, some were able to get BWI, and for August, PHX. I know some are trying to get to MDW, HOU, and DAL, but no one is senior enough to hold those now.
Base bids come out every month. You bid what you want the first day of class, and wait until you have the seniority to hold it.
Again, good luck on your career.
