To get an idea of how up in the air base assignment is right now, my class already has over 40 people junior to us that have been assigned base in LAX/ONT and close to 100 assigned base in IAH. Most of us wanted one of those and probably at least 5 of us are commuting from the LAX/ONT area. People are base trading IAH/CLE for LAX/ONT but no one will do EWR for LAX/ONT and we weren't awarded anything but EWR so far during the prelim bid. Just hope for anything other than EWR, unless that is what you want, since it is becoming very hard to leave.
The only saving grace to all this is that we get 11-12 days off and the commute from LAX-EWR is one leg with over 20 flight options, so it isn't killing me yet.
Good Luck.
