I've just looked through the attrition data here at XJT since January. We've had ZERO pilots leave us to go to Endeavor, not sure what your source is. As for the OP, XJT is not a bad place to be. Way better contract in comparison to Endeavor and DTW is one of our junior bases so your chances of getting it right out of training is high. Look beyond that retention bonus, remember it won't last forever. Good luck!
