Yearly income wouldn't be much more. Not to mention captain pay at a regional with a short upgrade. Just another carrot. No way I'd take the risk of being there for that.
Yea......You are so right here, I'd rather have a higher tax return then more money in the bank. How about you claim more dependents on your W4 and by the end of the year you might just end up getting no tax return. Why have the govt hold on to your money? I know why because you've obviously shown people you are not very good with money. You hate us because you anus!

That means you will be losing out on approximately 4000 to 7000 dollars of refund. Look at it that way and the 20k will be close to being cut in half.

My advice, don't even think about 9E
I jumped ship January 2015 from Endeavor. It is one of the last places I would recommend anyone going to right now. Forget about that bonus money(do you want to make a regional your career?). Other regionals have actual growth, better contracts, and upgrade opportunity which is what really matters. Check out the CQFO program at TSA or look at Compass. But who knows what Delta's plan for 9e is. They can be ruthless and will do whatever they can to get their bonus checks. If you go to 9E expect a so so contract, 11 days off, and flying with some seriously low moral pilots. Oh and hope you like NYC or one of their other fine bases.

Come to Endeavor or don't but please inform yourself don't making a hasty decision based on the rumor mill. I am sure there are a few people who jumped ship at Endeavor who thought they were sticking it to them and now regret their decision.
