Not to mention the 756 flying in EWR is the best flying at the entire airline and the 737 flying is pretty dang good too. 6 Months seems like a very short wait for all that......

I mean go to whoever hires you first and if DL has already hired you then you should go there for sure. However why not keep applying to UA so you can get the base you truly desire? UA at EWR will always be a base will your fleet at DL always have EWR only departures?
/agree

Assuming you've got a DAL cjo and not one from UAL just take the DAL job and see how things pan out. If you can then get hired by UAL you can move where EWR can be a more reliable base for you. Or maybe you just look really good in double breasted and will decide to stay here.
