yes, lately all the new hires have been getting dumped into BWI. This matters because contractually they get a hardline their first full month on the line, which pushes those just ahead of them back down deep into reserve territory. It makes getting off reserve take that much longer. Used to be why reserve in OAK took so long to get off. You’ll probably get BWI anyway, but bidding into MDW for the next few months may help you see the light sooner.
