Yes, OAK has a base. It is going more senior. DO NOT expect it to remain a base. As with former European flying that is now flown by ASL (contractor), FedEx pilots have NO RIGHT to fly Asia freight or flying. The company can, overnight, replace that flying with contractors.
If you want to fly for an airline and be California-based, FedEx is a very risky bet long term.
