If I were to guess, for FOs its about a 60% chance of going up north, and 40% chance filling vacancies down south for a month then eventually getting based in down there. Hope this helps.
On the base stuff it is a cluster because they are TDYing a bunch of people because they are going to give everyone a chance to move around if they would like it because they are opening up a new base in Gainsville, FL and there is heavy rumor about a CLE base instead of some of the out stations. Everyone wants Florida after winter but I heard of a guy or two going to TPA from December class and a few guys getting FLL and the rest seem to end up in BIL. With all the shuffling and stuff it is a complete guess where and when you will end up, the only thing that is for sure around here is that things are growing very quickly and new airplanes and owners on a shopping spree. ie rumor of Ipads, bigger Turboprops, new bases *cough* SJU *cough* who know they have the money if we can give them a reason they will spend it.
