Well, as a new base, wouldn't your CBA allow for it to be bid by seniority regardless of present equipment if not serving a lock-in ?

If so, then yes it would go super senior especially if E-175. Since many DFW E-175 drivers are probably locals that wouldn't jump to MIA, in this scenario, few new hires would get it and not many DFW E-175 slots would open and so it wouldn't do much for new-hire attraction as the vacuum would mean more CRJ/145 vacancies. It would also make MIA a VERY expensive hub/domicile for Envoy with not only start up costs, but training costs and super senior pay costs and all for potentially a measly 20 aircraft hub. Great for a couple of hundred senior Envoy pilots filling both seats though.

Does your CBA or any LOA's allow management to staff a new MIA E-175 domicile with new-hires first (for F/O positions) ? If so, it screws the present pilots.
