Default New York based regionals

I'm looking to be NYC-based with any of the regionals and figured I'd come here to ask opinions on it. I'm a current 135 pilot, without an ATP. I'm not interested in working for any US major airlines so flow through or guaranteed interviews don't matter to me. All I care about is working with a decent outfit with a New York base. So far I've interviewed with Endeavour, only because they have the JFK base which would be my preference, but I'm open to suggestions for others. Thanks!

Republic's most junior base is LGA and EWR. Reserve time is super short and dropping.

Endeavor will probably net you the most pay.

Envoy now has an LGA base, its junior and you can upgrade relatively quickly. You may not want go use the flow but the flow will provide you with upward movement in seniority more quickly as individuals flow to AA as well as get hired at other airlines.

You can get LGA or JFK with Endeavor no problem.

This. One of the perks of a conveyor belt is the stuff in front of you moves automatically.

Endeavor would be your best bet. Highest pay and a 1.5 year(1,000 hrs 121 time) upgrade, plus after two years as Capt., you can interview at DAL guaranteed. Might get you to a mainline faster than riding the American Airlines flow for 6 years at any of the AA wholly owned carriers.

If I didn't mind living in NY or even commuting that far, I would have personally went to Endeavor. For what it's worth. Just do your research and see what's the best fit for you. They will pay most and have guaranteed interviews to Delta. That's all I know.

If you want to live in NYC and be based there, Endeavor is no a brainer in my opinion. Lots of movement, decent crews, good schedules (17 days off/mo. within a year), good pay, average work rules. Plus we are growing and there is no way that NYC doesn't stay our junior set of bases.
