I interviewed last week. It was just as described above. When I received the offer information, they included the pay scale. Minimum is 70 hours per month at $55/hr. Not great, but not horrible.
If you live in one of their bases (ORF, CHS, MSY, TPA) the out and back flying on the 190 would be nice. You would be home every night in your own bed. Unfortunately that makes it difficult for commuters. Even after commuting to base to fly, you’ll be paying for hotels between flights.

Sounds like an ok Regional Airline job. Not sure why it is ever listed under Major Airlines. It would be unique as Regional because you are not tied to a major…No changing based at the whim of Delta or United etc…And likely a good jumping off point to a career at a Major
Like ExpressJet's standalone operation and Independence Air.
Been done before.

Not even close huh? Looks like only hiring for 190/195 and so far that’s all that’s been added to the fleet. I wouldn’t call them deliveries either, they just took more Azul planes out of storage. We’ll see how this pans out but they are already not living up to the promise.
Seems to turn out to be just like every other startup. Flying old cheap airplanes and paying pilots regional pay. Nothing new to see here. Same old tricks. Good luck to you all.

Your claim that David has a better relationship with Embraer is also false. Look at the fleets of Jetblue, Azul or TAP and tell me which manufacturer is the largest provider to those airlines... Airbus.
So no, you weren’t even close then and you still aren’t even close to knowing what is going on now.

You said we had 2 E190’s and 1 E195. You clearly didn’t know what you were spewing as I corrected you and told you we had 3 E195’s actively flying the route network at that time with 5 E190’s sitting on property going through the process to be added to the airlines operating certificate. BTW, by the end of the month we should be up to 13 Ejets actively flying in the fleet. We also haven’t “taken more Azul planes out of storage” either. You also claimed that nothing is happening on the A220 front, when again that is not even remotely close to being correct either. The A220’s are on schedule, with the first delivery slated for October as it always has been since Breeze delayed the fleet as was announced during Covid. The first one will be rolling off the line in 1-2 weeks time. The plane will be delivered and will still have to go through the entire process of being added to the airline’s operating certificate. That will take months, just like it did for JetBlue. So there is no need to be hiring for line pilots on it right now.

Well said, sir. Thanks for carrying the torch. 👍

It might work this time…Unlike the others. For sure Breeze is using the Euro Trash Airline model…Plus they have a really neat app. Supposed to replace most of the employees in a more traditional airline model. Super low costs, maximum outsourcing and high turnover should deliver the dough to Neelman and friends

Hi all. I did the video interview a few weeks ago but I was rejected for the interview. The email said that I didn’t have the experience they were looking for. I’m not sure if that’s a generic email or not. I definitely plan on reapplying in 6 months. Does anyone know if they are still heavily leaning on the folks with time in type? I also don’t have much PIC time in Category 1 (or was it 2 on the form) even though I do have over 1k turbine PIC and am currently a captain at a regional. I’m just interested in seeing how I match up with others getting the job. Thanks for any input!
