I've heard that the number of DECs applying is dwindling and that our FOs on property are mostly choosing to bypass upgrade. Therefore, the company doesn't want to lose any more CAs at this time than it has to. And even if the company increased the SSP two-fold, it still isn't that attractive impo. This industry is going to change so much by the time a person getting hired on now would even be eligible for it I think it is a moot point. Come to PSA for a quick upgrade for the next couple years. Come to PSA if one of our bases is an easy commute for you. Don't come here for the SSP. If you want to flow to American, go to Piedmont. If you want to upgrade quickly, and move on to something better more quickly, come to PSA. Simple as that.

Currently Endeavor's training department is flowing good, with very little delay. And they have a SSP to Delta... am I off base here?
It sounds like domicile is high up on your list of must haves, if that's the case I would make domicile your priority.

I have a wife and 2 kids, so if I could live in base, that would be excellent, but currently im in a position where I cant relocate. At the moment, im trying to figure out which regional will give the best quality of life. I realize that I will be traveling and life will suck for a while. Ive come to terms with that. At this point, without living in base, ive got to decide which commute will be easier. There are at least 8 flights a day from Nashville to CLT, leaving me to believe that would be a decent commute, especially considering that most of them are PSA flights.
With Endeavor, they are based in Detroit and there are at least 8 flights a day there as well. Only 2-3 are company, the rest are mainline delta or skywest (i believe). With the Endeavor bonus deal, that brings my pay up, where PSA Commute plus SAP, may have a better QOL. I think both will have decent upgrade times, although, I still think PSA may be better in that regard, considering growth rates. Pay, obviously better at Endeavor. Im almost certain im going to shoot for PSA, still just crunching these numbers and praying about it.
