Minuses 1) 2 hour call out 2) Driving to LGA 3) Possibly longer upgrade to captain I would greatly appreciate anymore I might have missed plus your thoughts and experiences. |

Pluses 1) LGA & JFK base 2) Driving to JFK after a little seniority 3) 2 1/2 call out to JFK better than LGA 4) Highest pay for regional, at least that’s what they say 5) Good quality of life 6) CRJ 900 7) Delta interview Minuses 1) Possibly longer reserve times 2) Possibly longer upgrade to captain I would greatly appreciate anymore I might have missed plus your thoughts and experiences. No arguments on the pay or QOL, particularly once you're off reserve. The 900 is nice, but in NYC, the 200 schedules are pretty good, and you might get senior on the plane quicker. YMMV. The Delta interview is nice, but you've got it ranked in the correct place... it's a guaranteed interview, but hardly a guaranteed job. Reserve and upgrade times are certainly longer for now than Republic. Upgrade times are probably longer than Envoy... don’t know about reserve. |

The co-terminal base at Endeavor can be a plus or a minus. Once you have a line and some seniority, you might even find that some of the LGA trips are better than JFK trips... or the drive could negate that. You can bid either way... there is an avoid LGA option in PBS.

Republic averages over 33 pilots leaving each month. I'd be curious to see how many leave from Envoy outside of the flow. It may well be more than 13 (I'd bet it is, actually), but I also don't think it's so different as to be a relevant point one way or the other.
It's an interesting exercise, though! |

Pluses 1) 3 hour call out 2) AA flow 3) Possibly shorter reserve times 4) Possibly faster upgrade to captain Minuses 1) Driving to LGA (from South shore eastern Long Island) 2) Quality of life not as good as 2 others? |

Envoy does have a LGA & JFK co-domicile as well. There is a bit less flying out of JFK than LGA though. Just pointing it out since you wrote that in the plusses for Endeavor for consistency

Great to know, thank you. Now I’m even more undecided...

JFK flying is/was suppose to pick up quite a bit as well with a reduction of LGA flying. Just throw in an application with Envoy and Republic and see who bites first/offers an earlier class date. If they're within a couple weeks of each other, Envoy is honestly a great carrier which also seems to check all of your boxes. If they can't get you into class for a while and Republics offering something immediately, go ahead and start practicing "Brickyard" in the mirror.
