I think new hire classes will be mainly MIA through years end, since it has the most openings, and seems to have tapped the well dry on people who want to come here. MIA NYC ORD will be main openings with DFW sprinkled in. Right now NY is FAT on FOs, ORD and soon MIA will be the place thats low, with some DFW. Just my crystal ball.
You will be surprized. Lots of the guys, including the former chief, are going to move to MIA since it has the most similar weather to LA all year. I know a few, including the #3 CA, who will commute because his relative seniority is better, he will be #2 in MIA. The commute is actually easier to MIA than DFW or ORD because there aren't as many commuters and even if it is full it's all 757s and widebodies so the jumpseat is actually better than a middle seat in the back. As the ATR retires the MIA and SJU guys will go to MIA EMJ.
