There is no bidding for airframe...new hires are assigned their airframe prior to their class date.
If you haven't started yet you could ask POLITELY, expressing your desire to live close to home. If you have previous 121/turbine experience they might be OK with giving you your choice of airplane, depending on their needs. If you're a CFI, you can ask, but plan on the EMB.
But don't force the issue, or you might get unhired.
