There should be some (short) fences up around bases because they create “effective” seniority by their very nature. I see the benefit to OOB everything, but it should go after in-base everything
In base reserves (yellow slip & assignments) go before OOBWS. I find it frustrating a “not wanting to fly” in base reserve gets a trip assigned before a “wanting to fly” OOBWS.
In my opinion, there are several reasons to OOBWS besides farming, sniping seniority, and stealing a “local’s“ IBGS.
