Fake news... review the other thread that has actual dates of most junior reserve pilots and lineholders in other bases. It’s much less than a year. Quoted from there for your convenience:

JULY

Base/Aircraft/DOH Junior Pilot/ DOH Junior Lineholder

ATL/200/Mar18/Dec17
ATL/900/Oct17/May17
DTW/200/Mar18/Dec17
DTW/900/Jan18/Sep17
MSP/900/Jan18/Aug17
NYC/200/NH/Dec17
NYC/900/NH/Sep17

Bear in mind training takes 3 months. So for example, most junior ATL 900 FO is 6 months post IOE.... DTW 900 3.

Anyways I encourage you to checkout the other thread for the captain dates per base as well, since that’s important.

No, August was the earliest class date quoted to me.

If accurate, that kind of stake isn't enough that any single one of them would be considered an owner (plus where do you come up with the other 25%?)

And it'd still be helping an airline recruit to staff flying for competitors.

Is that even with factoring in Endeavor's commuter policies? I.e. positive space after first attempt, etc?

The positive space commuting at endeavor takes a lot of the stress and anxiety out of commuting and allows for easier planning but is still a major qol hit due to the extra time away from home. That said, Endeavor has a ton of commuters into NYC with overall positive job satisfaction, we have a few cool things in addition to the positive space commuting that cater to commuters.

Wholly owned isn't really a plus. You're owned by one airline and if crap hits the fan and the major wants to cut ties, well, you know what happens. Look at Comair. Republic has 5 owners (Big three, GE and Embrear). You have five eggs in your basket compared to one. Many of the people at Republic love the QOL since some months they have 19+ days off.
Now, commuting wise Endeavor beats Republic if you want to commute.

To the original poster. Do whatever is best for you.

The Endeavor/Delta DGI doesn't have a good pass rate btw.

Good luck in your career choice.

Another pilot from my neck of the woods started at Republic in the fall, and she's enjoying things there. She flies all over the place, and the E-jet is nice.

The wholly owned thing was a deal breaker for me, but Republic isn't going anywhere. Good luck whichever way you go!
