At any of those three, you will have a much better shot at a Delta interview and job. And if that falls through, you still have United. And if that falls through, the end game default is a Captain position flying at American making $500k. My friend, Endeavor Air cannot promise you that. Don't let any recruiter tell you otherwise. You never want to sit in a pool waiting for a class date at a regional airline in this pilot shortage climate. Endeavor is dealing with major issues now that the poor work rules are becoming a reality in NYC. The moral is deepening because the pathway to Delta is so uncertain for most of our pilots (ie ...most don't trust Delta).
So, in short, move on before too much time passes...

I am in the same situation, either wait for months on EDV or head off to RAH. Leaning more towards RAH because waiting that long and then possibly waiting more or something else happening is not worth the seniority you gain elsewhere is the message I am getting. The only caveat is with EDV I wouldn't have to commute but RAH I would. I am near DTW
