Yes, you could approach the upgrade a couple different ways. If you want earliest available upgrade, list all the bases in your bid and you'll probably get EWR or LGA. The system will award more senior bases (if listed in your bid) when it can (when your seniority allows). Some FOs wait until they can hold the base they really want as CA, and therefore avoid the bases they don't want.

Just out of curiosity, what’s the most junior FO and CA at MIA?

MIA FO: 69 bidders. Bottom 5 DOH: 8/17, 8/17, 7/17, 6/17, 6/17
MIA CA: 92 bidders. Bottom 5 DOH: 3/15, 1/15, 12/14, 12/14, 4/14

Elsewhere in the forum I said someone from 12/17 was in MIA but either they aren't there anymore or I was mistaken.

3.5 five years for CA isn’t all that bad until you look at 92 bids are places for that base haha

I’ll probably end up commuting to LGA since that seems like a decent commute from MIA.

Is CMH still a mx base for Republic?

Yes, quite a large one too. That likely won’t be changing anytime soon.

Unfortunately. The airport, the rampers, and TSA there absolutely hate us but yet we continue to push more business their way.

Looks like CLT is a MX base, any chance they would turn CLT into a pilot base as well?

^^^^^^
This is a good question.
Another base in the SouthEast would be good. CLT, CHS, SAV, or JAX.
