That way you’re comparing apples to apples. Endeavor won’t force you to upgrade and commute to NYC when you’re eligible, you can stay in DTW with what will surely be by then a great schedule.
It's 3 years for CMH at YX currently, and about 3 years at EDV at DTW from what I can tell.
Either way this sounds like a *really* great dilemma to have. I'll mull it over for another month or so until I get closer to a class date, but I want to have a place to live lined up and be able to move to *before* I start class regardless of where I go. I don't want to have to stress about trying to coordinate a move between class/ioe/reserve.
I really do appreciate everyone's advice. Both some like solid choices.

I'm seeing places like Spirit and Jet Blue raise their pay to almost match the big 3. The entire market is being lifted by a rising tide, which I *think* would cause an upward movement at most places.

I don’t know much about Republic but the benefit there is you’ll have access to all three mainline partners travel benefits if I’m not mistaken. Sure, benefits will be watered down, but 3 times as many options to choose from.

This is still such a hard choice. The Endeavor recruiter told me that they have class dates available as early as August, but that I'd like need to spend somewhat close to a *year* being based in NYC as an FO.
No matter how good the commuter policy is, this is a huge turn off when I can go to RPA and avoid that scenario altogether.
