A quick google search makes it look like there are normally 10 weekday AA flights to DFW, 9 to ORD, and 10 to NY.
Overall a few more flights on all carriers, but the commute seems easy to any of Envoys bases

So if commuting is relatively equal, which would be my best bet in terms of holding a line. Looking around seems like DFW 175 but it’s all about 2 months old info.

Between MIA, FLL, PBI to JFK and LGA there are dozens of options on a plethora of airlines. MIA will probably take you less than 6 months to hold as an FO, holding a line, no idea.
