That pretty much sums it up right there =) One thing to keep in mind is that when they have a vacancy in base, they will try and upgrade someone from within the base, before sending it as a company wide bid. For example, if a BE99 spot opens in Phoenix, they will offer it to the Chieftain guys in PHX before putting it out in the company that they need a pilot upgraded to the BE99.

With that said, OAK is mostly a chieftain base... so in order to upgrade you will have to be willing to move. That is why it is generally junior.
