GoJet (and Freedom Air before it) was an example of Alter Ego. That's a completely different issue.

I don't think Breeze is a scab airline. It doesn't exist to get around anyone else's labor contract etc etc.. it's just an airline sold to pilots as the next jetblue. And because of that, everyone is taking in the teeth on pay and benefits. Neeleman hasn't even delivered on the original value proposition.
Just a startup.

Allegiant A320, August 2021 year 2 (lowest paid Airbus pilots in the USA):
FO $103.07
CA $171.42
70 hour line guarantee, 72 hours reserve. 130% pay above 81 hours.
Breeze pay is pathetic, and I'm sick of seeing everyone on here try to sell it like its Invacare or something.
Neeleman sure knows how to recruit members to his cult of personality, though.
Maybe the major airlines should just refuse to hire anyone who takes a job here. Clearly they have no self esteem as pilots, and don't value their skills at all. Not very self aware either. I bet Breeze would be gone in a year due to lack of pilots if everyone got a mark on their record for selling out here. But unfortunately, this industry is full of people willing to step on someone's neck to move up the ladder one rung, and some airline always willing to reward them for doing it.

No flying? Hah. You wish.
Breeze gives you free crashpad?
Add 30k a year in retention bonuses (conservative number).
Bottom line = more than Breeze.

Breeze has started a great initiative to retain pilots. They will give out a $100 Omaha Steaks gift card every you stay at Breeze.

1) do you have 220s on property? Yes.
2) do you have pilots in 220 training? Yes.
3) does that make your rates relevant? Yes.
4) do you have a current rate for them? I think you do from what a buddy told me. I think it’s a blended rate (ie the same rate as your abysmal 190 rates).
please correct any of the above, as I don’t work there, just trying to get some info in case I want to put in an app there.
