The better pay and benefits meant many more lifers and much slower upgrades then much bigger targets for bankruptcy era concessions. Hopefully everything about that era is in the past forever but we are already seeing several troubling signs in the economy, and who knows what that's going to mean for everyone.

If you'd be cool flying for either airline, then you could head for whichever one could get you in first. Just be sure to tell the other one "thanks, but..." once you're about to start indoc somewhere.

The shortage “isn’t over”. Endeavor and republic are just being flooded with applications because of pay. EVERYONE is applying here. Talk to anyone at Mesa and they’ll tell you how real the shortage is. Even AA wholly owns with a direct path flow to a major aren’t filling classes.

Hang onto the offers that you have, and reassess as you get closer. Heck, you might like a different option even better once you get to that point.
