The LOA that allows the company to give flying to FOs on reserve expires end of Feb. I think that’s as good a mark as any for when the company thinks that forced upgrades will be necessary. Of course that came out last summer and they’re notorously bad at staff planning so take that for what it’s worth.
That’s not to say you’ll get MIA anytime soon (may still be a couple years out). Just that once you do, I think you’ll keep it.

This.... Many FOs from 2016/2017 are taking the E175 upgrade even if they live in FL verses the E145 MIA base. Same for some SJU folks. Silly, It is, but QOL on equipment vs base is a factor for some. They have to commute in the day prior regardless on CA RSV.
I think there will be opportunities for DECs to find their way to MIA eventually, even sooner rather than later. I’ve seen guys on paper take an upgrade displacement to MCE, but then leave MCE for OCL/DCL, even DCE. This industry is always changing, consume all recommendations on here with caution, even the one I’m giving you. What appears true today, could change in about 3months. Then you will either look back wishing you did, wishing you didn’t, or just indifferent about your choice.

All the information has been very helpful and I definitely agree with the last post. I started my career just months before 9/11, continued through the financial meltdown and finally through a regional meltdown and a divorce. I’ll let you know if it was the right decision when I retire! Thanks again for all the info.
