As the previous post said, no and no. But, there aren't very many E190 slots between now and September. Chances are very good that you'll be on the A320. You'll get to choose between JFK and BOS, and in the very next quarterly system bid you can transfer bases if you don't immediately get what you want. You won't hold FLL or MCO quickly on the A320, but LGB has been going junior in the last couple of bids. JFK and BOS always have vacancies.
