If you are a west coaster, you should educate yourself about the Oak base as well as considering your commuting options if you got the mad dog in mem or anc. Have a fedex friend walk you through it all before you take advice from anonymous debbie downers.

You also have to acknowledge that for every example like yours there is someone who was awarded an aircraft or base they didn’t want in BI and then have to wait two years before they are eligible to bid to a new aircraft and then wait an additional two years before they go to training. How long have all the M30FO’s who are finally scheduled to go to 777 training next year (maybe as late as Aug) been here?
You can call it doom and gloom all you want, but the simple fact to the OP is that yes, depending on timing and your initial seniority you can get “stuck” in a seat you don’t want to be in for four years while people behind you are going to the seat you do want
