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.

Appreciate the info. Any place online to check out the scheduling system or any place to try and learn it before I get there? Haven’t found any groups or FB groups yet with info.
