Those bases are a revolving door on the bottom, and we have a really lame system in place that gives newhires entering their first vacancy a line to consolidate. That line is taken from senior FO's who are instead then given a more junior schedule or reserve.
Hopefully it gets fixed in the new contract.

Way longer than elsewhere.

That whole "new hire gets a hard line for consolidation" needs to go. It is subverting seniority. They should be able to get their consolidation done on reserve the way we use reserves. In any case, I'd welcome the company to buy off trips if they choose to, but not just make more senior FO's sit reserve unable to ELITT or fix their schedules because the bottom is a revolving door.

April will be your consolidation month where the hard line will be awarded to you.

Make sure they process your IOE completion ASAP. If you get it done before the 25th, you can participate in ELITT for the following month. Can’t start trading until you are processed.

Just build consolidation lines alongside the blank lines. It's not freaking rocket science, and it would preserve seniority.
