The key point and the goal most should have when approaching a regional is getting the experience they need to make the jump to a Major. Endeavor is once again moving into position as being a great stepping stone. A stepping stone with positive ties to Delta which will help in career progression. At the end of the day upgrades will be starting soon and when they start they will continue until the next bad thing happens that halts them which will affect everyone. In the meantime a new hire can enjoy the highest compensation for a first year regional FO in the industry. See past the rhetoric and analyze your decision closely. Try hard to ignore emotional claims and focus on logic.
In order to be a "great stepping stone" (which sounds more like an emotional claim to me rather than one based on logic) there has to be upgrades and they have to happen fast. Instead of making claims like these provide us with evidence. Do some math to show how one can come/stay at Endeavor and get the required PIC to move on to mainline. Explain your logic because to me it looks like you are doing the same exact thing you are accusing the other side of doing - using emotion to make your point.
