I'm trying to do an objective comparison of both Endeavor and Skywest (my first two choices) and seeing what's a better fit. Delta is where I ultimately want to end up so obviously Endeavor is high up on the list. On the other hand with the multiple people I personally know that are at or have been at Skywest and have very positive things to say it's hard to decide. I don't personally know anybody at Endeavor so it's hard to paint a full picture.

Plus, the money you stand to make at 9E is ridiculous if you're willing to work for it. Regionals are a stepping stone for some, so make what you can make, get in and get out. That's my plan at least.
Good luck and hope to see you on the team soon!

What kind of health insurance do they offer and is it generally good?
My wife has a good insurance plan, so I can't answer that. Not planning on taking it myself. They did offer up some info, but given my situation, I didn't really tune in for that part

If there is more than one yellow sticker on any aircraft more times than not they are related subsystems that are affected. Example last (not very productive)4 day trip 8 legs, 5 aircraft one yellow sticker. TCAS inop.

As they spend more time out east, they should get better at fixing things quickly, but in any case, its not common to get a plane that has anything significant on an MEL anywhere on the 200.
