Wholly owned isn't really a plus. You're owned by one airline and if crap hits the fan and the major wants to cut ties, well, you know what happens. Look at Comair. Republic has 5 owners (Big three, GE and Embrear). You have five eggs in your basket compared to one. Many of the people at Republic love the QOL since some months they have 19+ days off.
Now, commuting wise Endeavor beats Republic if you want to commute.
To the original poster. Do whatever is best for you.
The Endeavor/Delta DGI doesn't have a good pass rate btw.
Good luck in your career choice.

Another pilot from my neck of the woods started at Republic in the fall, and she's enjoying things there. She flies all over the place, and the E-jet is nice.
The wholly owned thing was a deal breaker for me, but Republic isn't going anywhere. Good luck whichever way you go!
