If Oakland is still the predicted landing spot, I bet it goes even deeper. Maybe April '14.
October and November will go senior because of vacation bypassers. December is going to see two things:
Nobody wants to be locked into a December training month and all of those instructors in the summer classes are finally going to be making some money. I think it will dip to 8 years and then maybe even lower in 2023. There was about 14 months of no hiring after July 2014, but then there is a bug bubble after late 2015. Denver will eventually fill out and then it's back to west coast etops lock.
There was true upgrades into Midwest bases this last bid…BWI too I think. I’d guess people will still bypass to avoid a multi-time zone commute to sit rsv. I sure as hell wouldn’t bid BWI if it were the jr base.
