The last class all the new hires were awarded IAH. The most junior bases are MSP/IAH.

Are any bases full enough that you would never get them within a year?
Bid what you want, if you get it, you get it. They award base transfers monthly (usually) and usually run awards before new hire awards.

Can you trade bases without a full system bid and how does it work?
You can bid and change bases monthly if there is movement. If you turn down a bid transfer you will get a 6 month lock in base. Still you can pick up flying in any base.

Last question: once you get a base, can you be pushed out if other people try to move in?
Once you are awarded a base, you can not get pushed out of the base.

Thanks for any (meaningful) responses!
