The industry has changed immensely in the past couple years. American is invested more in its regionals than any other legacy and it would hit American harder if it's WOs didn't succeed than it ultimately would UA and DA. Therefore, they are making themselves the most attractive to new hires to ensure their supply of regional pilots. Endeavor offers attractive pay. So does Republic, although it isn't as good as Endeavor or the WOs and they have a longer upgrade. SkyWest has good bases and pretty good pay/contract. Lots of places are attractive right now based on whatever scenario you're working with. The WOs however, are far from being a "guaranteed turd in a box" as CF so eloquently put it.
