Holding Saab Capt in FLL or TPA in 6 months? Maybe. Depends how junior or senior these new bases go (should find that out in about 2 weeks). You'd definitely be able to hold one of the other bases, though. But just remember that within the next two years a lot of FO's who are more senior will be reaching upgrade.
For those interested, Our new Saab bases were announced yesterday. They are:
Harrisonburg, VA
Clarksburg, WV
Gainesville, FL
Altoona, PA
Greenville, MS
Meridian, MS
Miami, FL
Tampa, FL
Fort Lauderdale, FL
The 1900 Bases up north will remain (Billings, Parkersburg, DuBois, Bradford)
