One new hire class that I talked to told me they were allowed to trade their assignments with each other, i.e. guy who lived in Florida traded his 757 ONT assignment with a fellow on the West coast who had been assigned 757 MIA. Other classes have been able to choose bases based on seniority within the class (birth date).
