E9: $229,200
RAH: 201,000
$28,200 extra at E9 over 5 years
So it is still more, even excluding the likely continuation of the bonus past 2018 as the pilot shortage worsens.
Factor in Endeavor's much better advancement rate, due to already having hundreds flowing to Delta the next few years, the benefit of Endeavor is even more apparent.
Keep trying to convince yourself otherwise. New hires deserve to know what is in for them.
