Well, have you noticed the increase in Skywest 175’s in New York? Summer flying last year in New York the 900 had about 290 ish lines of flying. June schedule this year is 259 I think? I think Detroit actually is losing flying. And notice that no secondary’s were awarded on this last vacancy. I think Minnie is also down. I don’t think Atlanta grew by 30 ish lines. But maybe I’m wrong. Anyway, yes a redistribution of flying. But not just at Endeavor

Its going to other Delta regionals (RAH/OO) and the A220. The company isn’t shrinking, it’s just shifting flying to ATL for the summer. I’ve been here 2 years and I don’t see myself having the opportunity to upgrade any time soon. Growth will likely happen outside of NYC and these vacancies will be filled by senior FOs who have held off upgrading to avoid NYC.

So I think the moral of the story is, things are changing here and no one knows exactly what it'll look like until after every last new aircraft is through conformity and the dust has settled. But someone hired this summer will likely not be on reserve nearly as long as it has been (NYC 900). My guess...

Not if they are shifting flying from NYC to other bases. There won’t even be any vacancies to upgrade in NYC, and they won’t backfill secondary vacancies. Most FOs now are taking the first upgrade now anywhere to get their DGI clock started.

The sky is not falling
Chill out guys, we are still 110+ pilots heavy and stagnant or better yet “stable” at the moment. That whole “massive retirement pilot shortage” is not playing out like everyone’s hopes and dreams. There is allot of DAL holdouts waiting on DGI and DAL is not hiring nearly as many pilots this year as last year.
NYC 200 has grown because ATL 200 shrunk. There is less lines in June at all bases specifically due to bid smoothing, NYC is not shrinking. It remains the junior base and the biggest. Yes, routes have shuffled however. Different discussion though.
If you recall, the plan is to have ATL 9Es largest base. That has not happened yet. Stop running around like then sky is falling because your two years in and only halfway up the seniority list.

Where do you want to be in 5 years?
Are you commuting? - this will be a major impact on this decision.
Do you want to be at someone’s hub? Care if your based at an outstation?
Do you have shiny jet syndrome?
I tell people bid/pick what you want, not what you think you can hold:
Bid the seat
Bid the base
Bid the plane
Both have pros, both have cons. It’s very circumstantial to the individual.

I’ll be commuting and NYC or ATL are my best options.

Anything else won’t care. Main and most important goal is to get to Delta

Can you reasonably commute to Republic bases? Endeavor bases?
Lose the shiny jet syndrome, you don’t get brownie points anywhere for wing mounted engine time - one exception might be China I suppose.
If DAL is your endgame, 9E has the highest rate of pilots to DAL from a regional. May be worth the gamble. It is not however guaranteed.
