At the end: RAH or 9E?
Lets vote!

Whichever one has a base (that looks stable) where you live. You can't put a price on that.

You forgot: Whichever base makes your commute smoother!!!

what if LGA is the desired base choice?

Endeavor by a long shot
Why would anyone go to a bankrupt airline is beyond me.

Airlines have many reasons for bankruptcy, most either go away or survive. Even your beloved Endeavor has a history of bankruptcy!

If the base MMG was higher 9E would have had much more pull in my regional search. Some of us cant afford 2-3months of the MMG (during training) living in NY with a family. I could wait for them to roll the bonus into base pay but who knows how long that will take. :confused:

Yup and I told people to stay away then.

Fair. But what's the reasoning?

Until the bankruptcy is finished anything can happen.
So they promise things won't be touched. Ha ha can't trust it until it's over. It's out of many people's hands on the fate of the company. Yes there is always risk but the risk is substantially lower at a wholly owned non bankrupt carrier.
Hence if yout want lga endeavor right now is the place to go.
