I can't guarantee it's accurate, but as someone currently on the outside, I've been using this website:
https://www.flightsfrom.com/MIA?from
You give it an origin, then add filters for airline and aircraft, and it lists all the destinations (including number of flights per day).

Different story is how long one could be on reserve, right?. My buddy told me MIA guys should expect maybe 2 months on reserve if anything but DFW could be around 12 months once you get there?. I would imagine PHX and CLT are similar to DFW

Just look at where the new hires are going in the class drop thread.

Just because a flight departs from a given domicile does not mean the crew is from that domicile. As an example, DFW crews can do flights from MIA and ORD crews can do flights from DFW, etc. They originate from their domicile and (usually) make intermediate stops. It’s all dependent on how the sequences are built to (supposedly) optimize usage.

Getting MIA 320 is very easy as a new hire. It is often in most class drops. You will fly everywhere the Airbus 320 goes. However, MIA is our Latin American hub. You may be able to avoid most LA overnights, but not always. Every layover though, we have designated rides and nice hotels. They are very secure and I don't worry about my safety. I have gone out in Mexico City, and it was fine. Most of the hotels are quite large and have plenty to do within the complex if you don't want to go out though. And don't go wearing Rolex when you go out. I leave mine at home.

Enjoy Bogota?! You went too far! Good luck wearing a Rolex in Colombia, Brazil or Argentina, or simply speaking on an iPhone on the streets.
Ps: I am from one of those countries… I’ve been gun robbed more than once, “flash” kidnapped, and seen people killed in front of me. You could have all of my Latin America overnights!

And as others have pointed out, doesn’t matter what city you go to, you have to be smart about where you go and what you do and especially don’t stand out as an easy mark.
