Default EDV worth the wait?

I recently got the CJO a few weeks back. Being told the wait could be as long as FALL for a class date. Ready to go NOW, have other offers (Republic), but really want to hold out for the BEST. Thoughts on whether I should wait up to 6 months or start class now?

I’d start class somewhere now. The “best” changes once a year anyway.

Don't wait..Go somewhere that will take you asap. It will be the best decision for your career imo.

I would probably try to let Endeavor know you can go ASAP if there’s a no-show in
New hire class

Go to Republic now. Keep you offer. See how the Compass/rumors shakes out. That could pause hiring longer if they take all the Compass pilots but only the DL 175’s..

Do not wait. EDV may be the best today, it won’t be in the future. That’s how the regional game has always been played.

Seniority is huge in this game. I think you'd be really happy here, and make a lot of money. But that being said, it's hard to justify waiting even six months when that can mean the difference between a major and furlough. There are other good places to be right now.

Echo the others. EDV is a great place to work, but I'm not sure it's worth 6 months seniority lost. I'd go with your gut and if you think you'd be happy at somewhere that can offer an earlier class date, then id go for it.

Waiting is seniority is money lost. Go to PDT, they will pay you to stay at home while you wait for EDV to call you.

A bird in the hand is always better than three in the bush.

Thats a good idea!! Go somewhere. What if you wait and they push you off another 6 months. Reality is you never know... tell you retire at 65 and look back..
