It really just depends on which aircraft/base needs bodies the most. ATL 700 is senior for FOs, yet new hires have been awarded it recently. If you want DTW you'll need to hold a 700 position out of training or the 18 month aircraft freeze may restrict you to 200 domiciles for a while. If you get 700 ATL it shouldn't be too hard to find a DTW pilot to base trade. The good news is that 700 positions are being vacated by senior FOs upgrading to Captain on the last couple awards.
With that said I think ERJ CLE is more of a sure thing. If not awarded in training I assume trading into a junior domicile won't be too difficult. Then again I'm not sure how the newly announced domiciles will affect seniority on the ERJ side.
