I’m copying and pasting to make it easier. Also, the 30k-40k reference is not an exaggeration. It’s the norm. If you don’t believe me dig a little deeper and you’ll find more information on the PSA threads along with the Endeavor and Republic threads as well....


If all things were equal I’d say go to PSA for the easier commute...but...things are definitely not equal.

It really comes down to what’s 30k-40k a year worth to you. For me, if I was starting over, 30k-40k extra a year on regional pay would be worth the extra commute to go to Endeavor. But if you have a spouse with a good paying job, or some extra money saved away then maybe it’s not much of an issue for you. I commuted for 3 years as an FO and I didn’t mind it one bit. It all depends on your personal situation. You just have to think what is 30k-40k extra a year worth to you?

Also, I’m pretty sure you could have more days off at Endeavor than PSA even if our SAP worked great and still make more money while doing so, giving you more time at home even with the tougher commute. I’ve heard of Endeavor guys getting 20-22 days off if they want to work the bare minimum. PSA will get you 17 or 18. 19 if you get a little lucky during SAP. Again, what’s 30k-40k worth to you?

SAP is nice, but it’s only nice because it helps fix the crappy schedules we’re awarded with. I guarantee you at least 50% of the schedules at Endeavor are without a doubt better than the number 1 schedule at PSA after SAP with more days off and more credit (even besides the better pay rates) at the same time.

It’s all up to what your priorities are. Like I said before, if everything is equal, PSA would probably be the top choice. But we’re far from equal and only you can decide what the extra money and days off are worth to you at Endeavor.
