I dont know for sure, but we have received emails from the company saying they have had to park two brand f-in new CRJ700s because they dont have enough pilots to staff it. So, I think it would be a safe bet to see ORD and/or LGA CRJ slots in the next newhire classes.

We also just opened a MIA ERJ base, and 16 MIA ATR FOs transferred out, so we are short in MIA ATR FO as well. Same deal with DFW ERJ FO and ORD ERJ FO. Had about a net loss of 30 guys in DFW 50 in ORD from the bid awards, so that makes a pretty big opening.

Long story short, I have no clue what they will offer in the next classes, but there are plenty of openings everywhere, and if you dont initially get what you want you should be able to transfer to your desired base before you finish training.
