Until then, yes, to avoid a lock, you basically have to be forced into an ETOPS bid group. That means you have to have the three bid groups on the bottom of your bid list.
If it were me, I would just bid into PHX asap. It's only a matter of time before they have an ETOPS BG there.

I’m thinking LAS first, shortest distance, could drive in 3.5 hours if I had to; Rarely weather delays.
LAX and OAK… can both have marine layer WX delays and LAX flow…neither is reasonable for driving.
Maybe one is better than others based on amount of flying and getting used more frequently?
Should I consider DEN before those 3 above?
Any insight and advice appreciated.
