ACY was perennially the junior most FO base for a long time, and it was almost a rite of passage to do a month or two there after initial before rotating out to another base. Lately there are enough people who want to be there.
Lots of people here live in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin etc and DTW and ORD are commutable.
Lauderdale is the biggest base in the system, and Orlando has had a lot of recent growth so they usually have vacancy and go junior.
Things shift around, and 6-12 months from now could be very different
