How confident are you that they are not looking for any more 200 classes? my class date is end of Nov.

Republic is a far safer choice for NYC. Go there for six months, and then go to JetBlue.

If you are on the 900 you will 100% be able to be based in NYC as a new hire, guaranteed, and you will be able to upgrade to Captain the moment you hit 1000 hours 121 time and stay in NYC. If NYC is your goal, EDV is certainly a great place to work. Can't speak for any other airlines.

I chose EDV because I heard great things about the company from pilots all around the industry, plus had a superior all around interview and onboarding experience. I did also get a CJO from Republic but decided to go EDV.

It's a significant risk. If Violin said that they wanted DTW or ATL, then I'd say go for EDV. EDV has no guarantee of NYC right now, and the potential reward of NYC doesn't outweigh the significant career detriment of getting assigned the 200 during initial.
