Any tips to predicting out of base reserve assignments? Anything we can do to avoid it?
It’s frustrating when I would have yellow slipped an in-base rotation if I’d known I was going to be sent to another base. And I actually did but for the next day.

Nope. I would like to see the Y rotations removed from the next contract. I see no reason why we should prevent a line holder from WS or even better an OOBWS for those.

The Y is a trip moved from one base to another in the steps of trip sequence after WS and OOBWS and in base reserve assignment. Everyone has had a crack at those trips minus DH to make them legal reserve assignments

and with monthly ae staffing adjustments the y rots should no longer be necessary. I agree with removing them for rsv. Furthermore, once the rot is coded y it often becomes more desirable to an oobws but reg are now locked out of bidding it. Not cool

It's a temporary trip. If they move it into one base for a reserve to cover it and they can't cover it, it moves back to the original base to be covered by a GS.
