Your best bet now for MIA is to bid either ATR or EMJ (whichever you would rather fly) for any domicile and then bid MIA when the next vacancy bid runs. Bids will probably continue on a monthly basis form now until the end of the year so there is plenty of opportunity to bid Miami even if initially you are elsewhere. Good luck.
