Thanks for the replies.
If you want OAK, you'll be trained to fly ETOPS, period. If it's not your bottom bid as an FO, you'll be locked for 6 months for the initial qual. If that's where you live or want to be, then this ETOPS bid group (EBG) lock is meaningless.
Pros and cons? The more senior you get, the more you'll see OGG vs. STL, but you will be trained.
