How confident are you that they are not looking for any more 200 classes? my class date is end of Nov.
Seems like there are a lot of negative nancies here. Management recently said that the 200s will be decreasing greatly, so there is a very small chance that you get the 200. FAR lower than 50%. Maybe 10% at this point is my random guess.
If you are on the 900 you will 100% be able to be based in NYC as a new hire, guaranteed, and you will be able to upgrade to Captain the moment you hit 1000 hours 121 time and stay in NYC. If NYC is your goal, EDV is certainly a great place to work. Can't speak for any other airlines.
