I know it a tough call but I don't know what else I can do?

I don't agree with the Endeavor part.

Awac just announced they are also offering an interview program with united, provided you meet the requirements (a 4 year degree, 1000 PIC or 3000 total with the company). Being one of the most junior on the list, would you stick around for that (I figure it'll take 24 months to get an interview)? Does that make the decision to stay easier? Or should I bail and become an LCA at a 135 place asap
