OTS hire at a legacy or LCC such as WN or F9 would be even better.
WN no longer deserves the LCC status... They are the 4th "legacy passenger airline at this point" Endeavor would be a good option for someone in your shoes not looking for career progression... Get your base and take the bonus money. Apply to the LCC's that fit your bases (heck any legacies that do as well)
