Can someone from the Miami base post the in's and out's of flying out of there. I'm specifically looking for info about commuting (in Florida), time it takes to hold MIA as a new hire, typical pairing lengths, typical destinations out of MIA.

Under Contract 2016, newhires will bid for vacancies in class seniority order.
MIA and ONT are 757 only.
Generally speaking, Bus and 757 (SDF) have been junior for newhires since hiring began in 2014.

Show times from 7pm - 1130pm with release times of 6am- 9am. Many have 3 legs w/ no place to nap.
Also, they build the lines haphazardly, ie.. 2 on, 1 off, 1, on etc.
About 9 lines are built like this in MIA.

We have 13 months, in case you didn't know. Thats UPS bidding.
Or do you want to know the year total ?
But to answer your original question, it will most likely take you YEARS to get a good schedule in MIA. More than 3, maybe more
