They keep sending 200s to the desert, but there's no guarantee that you won't get the 200 in class. They still have to staff it until it goes away for good.

Republic is a far safer choice for NYC. Go there for six months, and then go to JetBlue.

Go to Republic if you're only interested in Nyc. Odds are almost 100% compared to a 50/50 on getting the 900 or 200 here

Seems like there are a lot of negative nancies here. Management recently said that the 200s will be decreasing greatly, so there is a very small chance that you get the 200. FAR lower than 50%. Maybe 10% at this point is my random guess.

If you are on the 900 you will 100% be able to be based in NYC as a new hire, guaranteed, and you will be able to upgrade to Captain the moment you hit 1000 hours 121 time and stay in NYC. If NYC is your goal, EDV is certainly a great place to work. Can't speak for any other airlines.

There is a post on the FB page right now... apparently management outright stated that the 200 will be shrinking like crazy, something like only 12 of the aircraft will still be active by the end of the year.

Not negative....if all they want is nyc then Republic gives them that 100% opportunity to get it. Edv doesn't. And while the odds are favorable they aren't 100%

EDV is certainly a great place to work??? Tell that to the 1900+ reserve pilots we currently have!

I do have a colleague from flight school at republic now, he’s not flying much although he started training a long while ago, backlog is happening everywhere.

I chose EDV because I heard great things about the company from pilots all around the industry, plus had a superior all around interview and onboarding experience. I did also get a CJO from Republic but decided to go EDV.

Not really talking about backlog. You’ll find out when you get here. Good luck!

And any FO who unfortunately gets the 200 while the fleet shrinks will be stuck on reserve with very little flying opportunity for a long, long time.

It's a significant risk. If Violin said that they wanted DTW or ATL, then I'd say go for EDV. EDV has no guarantee of NYC right now, and the potential reward of NYC doesn't outweigh the significant career detriment of getting assigned the 200 during initial.
