Not saying Endeavor is a bad place at all but I think if you are looking to move onwards and upwards then you should go to a place that keeps you flying and ideally ensures you a quick upgrade. Not sure how far from CAE you are but AW has a junior CA base there as well.
ATL 200 CA is basically unattainable and ATL 900 CA requires at least 3 years seniority. There are a bunch of NYC 200 CAs that would like ATL 200 CA but have been unable to get it as they are not backfilling the position (aka they are shrinking it). Most of the ExpressJet folk are in the left seat of the 200 in ATL and won't be leaving any time soon.
Upgrade is at 2.5+ years right now and until we get some growth that number will not change. Yes, even in New York.
