LGA = S80/737
MIA = 737

You're correct. I was focused on the base and missed the equipment options. I think the last couple of classes didn't have 767 MIA slots(turns out to be the last 4). Nice gig if you can get it. ;-)

Just to head off the 'how long do you think it'll take me to get to xxx domicile' questions, remember that it solely depends on how long we hire. If we get a nice even flow for a year or more, ALL the bases will be within reach of new hires in a matter of months. If the doors close, bases like LAX and DFW and ORD will take *years* to get to.
My personal feeling is that if you get hired in the first wave (meaning the first year or so) you'll get the base you want in minimum time. If you get hired, then we stop hiring, you're screwed: damned if you move to MIA or LGA only to get furloughed, damned to live in reserve commuting hell for years if you don't.
