Well here's what I'm thinking, so let me know if it makes sense.
I'm on a military retirement which gives me a lot of options. If I go to Endeavor I should be able to fly the CRJ900 and be based out of Atlanta relatively quickly (within a couple of months), so I wouldn't be commuting since I currently live in Atlanta. There is no guarantee that I'd pass the 2nd attempt at the Delta Online Assessment, and there is no guarantee that I'd make it through the interview process. If I do get a Delta CJO and have to wait a year that doesn't sound too bad since I would not be commuting and have the military retirement on top of the Endeavor paycheck. On top of that I would not be metered by the other legacy airlines being at Endeavor.
