Nothing is guaranteed in this business. When you retire, you’ll look back on your career and only then will you realize of what you chose was the right decision.

RPA vs. EDV
I want to get others opinions while I have to make a decision soon. I currently have an offer from both RPA and EDV. I am 21 years old and will live in ATL. Both class dates are early Sept. I would obviously eventually get the ATL base for EDV and would get the DCA base for RPA. I have family in DCA so it would be an ideal commute situation. Overall goal is definitely Delta. From what I have seen I would get there faster through RPA. Is it worth it to "risk" it and go with RPA in this situation to get to Delta faster? Or do I accept waiting at EDV?

However, the music will stop at some point, and when it does, the big question is, where would you rather be stuck. At one of those other regionals, or at endeavor living in base in ATL? That’s the question to ask.

At EDV, worst case scenario you're 28 when you flow to Delta. At RPA you'll still be a Captain there.
