Miami is our most senior base (for both CA/FO) and Columbus, Indy, LGA and PIT are more junior for FOs. DCA runs a bit more senior than CMH/IND/LGA/PIT.

As someone mentioned earlier, upgrade is based on seniority. For the September bids, the most recent captain upgrade was hired about 2.5 years ago. Upgrading to captain is one thing, holding a line is another. You can upgrade to captain but will probably be on reserve for a while if you choose Miami.
