What makes Edv benefits better?
OP specifically wants DTW. Endeavor flight benefits certainly are better if you want DTW. Mainline Delta dominates DTW, and Edv has higher priority on them than any other regional. And with so much Edv metal also in DTW to use benefits on, it kind of makes the distinction obvious.

From what I saw all the flights to IND would go through MCI or ORD, so that would probably be easier to drive. As far as commuting goes it seems like RAH would be easier.

STL-LGA and STL-DTW direct flights are out there. For LGA you have DAL (VIA 9E it looks like), AA, an WN flights each morning for commuting to work. Looks to me like 9E would be easier with flights available direct to every 9E base.

I like having benefits across all three. The flexibility it provides is outweighs having slightly higher priority over other regional pilots on a single Major.
As someone already pointed out, the benefits 9E has on Delta are worlds better than RPs benefits on any airline. Being above retirees is massive for 9E pilots, plus 9E has positive space second flight for commuting.

I've never had any problems finding a ride using all three. Plus it dramatically increases your international options. I've heard that EDV doesn't like it if you use that positive space option too often.

My SSN is also extremely low. Either way, I can bid for airframe change after 18 months.
Low SSNs aren’t good at Endeavor. They use the method Delta does to determine class seniority. The higher the number, the more senior you are.

I'm well aware. But it's only for class seniority so whatever.

If I decided not to go to an airline because my class seniority was low... I mean..

That's a pretty horrible reason to not go to an airline.

Default Upgrade Time

How does most junior upgrade time compare at both these carriers? Is JFK crj200 at 9E still as soon as you hit 1000 hours? Will Republic's upgrade time drop to around 2 years flat or is 2.5 still the norm?

At YX the latest junior upgrade is 2 years 8 months from DOH in EWR. LGA is close behind. PIT is being held after an additional 6 months. I've heard a few times that upgrade time may stabilize around the 2 year mark, but that's certainly no guarantee.

Yes it’s contractually guaranteed - may take 8 years, but they can’t take it away at any point! Oh wait...
