I would also add that MIA is NOT a commutable base for junior crew members.

Are you asking as a potential New Hire?

If so, then the question is, where do you live? There are some bottom crewmembers in MIA that commute and or live around the state that bid the bottom lines. Desirable as a commuter? No, but they make it work with trip trades and Line Enhancement.

Let me clarify that more. Some c/m's trade among themselves. Also, With the night turns in MIA averaging 6 hours pay, they are easier to move via LITT and OT swaps.

During LITT in MIA, it is quite possible to trade your Turns for a week of EDW that might have remained in OT after VTO's were built. How many can do this? I would guess a small percentage, as most long EDW weeks of work are built into a VTO. And on average, it is not day for day trade, so you end up giving to the company.

Meanwhile, the rest are Denied Insufficient Reserve Coverage with the 2 and 3 day trips.

MIA had 13 FO vacancies after the last bid. With only 9-10 night turn lines, I would guess the first few NH's to MIA won't be doing night turns for the next few years.
