Go where it's easy to commute if you can't or don't want to live in base. Both companies are great. Endeavor you will make more money , but republic isn't that far behind. Upgrade times are going down here at endeavor and so are reserve times (just around 2 years upgrade and 6 months reserve, and going to continue to fall). We will have 27 new crj700/900 by the end of June. So flying is going to pick up. Both are great , but pick the one that hires you and can get you in asap for a class date.
