last vacancy award had around a dozen get OAK while over 90 got BWI. Your chances of getting oak are good if you’re bidding for it and willing to take the 6 month EBG lock.

OAK is ol’ reliable when it comes to new hires. Sometimes other bases have massive spikes in new hire numbers, but OAK keeps plodding along adding a few at a time. When other bases aren’t spiking then seems like that’s when OAK does. I moved from BWI to OAK and gained about 10% base seniority with good progression.

New hires, are usually on weekend reserve which often gets used. HOWever, if its a 4 day block, I see lots of guy not getting used day 1, then getting assigned day 2. So you would burn 2 hotel nights sometimes, or get a pad. Luckily it looks like its only a few (3-4) months on reserve then you should be into blanks if hiring continues.
