As always, thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Envoy was my first 121 job. That said, I left Envoy for Endeavor over a year and a half ago. I now have to commute for Endeavor but let me tell you, it was the best decision of my life.

Envoy's schedules are brutal and life on reserve is a special kind of living hell. If that's not enough to convince you, you are treated like a 1st grader and anything and everything you do wrong will be documented and held against you in a Step One. No mercy there.

I felt Endeavor was far superior prior even to the new TA. Now, Envoy doesn't even hold a candle to Endeavor. Face it, you are going to have to commute at Envoy for a long time. With the prior 121, you'll be forced to upgrade and will be bottom feeding reserve in LGA for likely 2 years or more. If you have to commute to NY, may as well make it worth it and come to Endeavor. DFW-LGA or DFW-EWR is not a bad commute at all. In addition to AA and DL to LGA, you also have NK which has one daily flight. I've come to rely on them most for my commute as they are the friendliest to jumpseaters. Then you've got UA/AA to EWR.

If Endeavor isn't your thing, I would look somewhere besides Envoy.
