[Breeze] Airways

That is a legitimate question. Does it make you feel better to troll a thread of an airline you have zero desire to go to? Why even look at the thread? I’m here debating on going to a new airline that would have me home based vs having to commute the rest of my life or move.
People like you truly just detract from the purpose of an online forum, I suspect you do the same in real life. That is detract from whatever setting you’re in.

Kinda funny you keep coming back here to talk when the 220 pay scale is pretty close to Allegiants at this point. If Breeze is garbage what's that make Allegiant? Garbage+?

I mean, Allegiant charges you to print boarding passes, 40lbs baggage limit, and pay for refreshments. So yeah Garbage+

That’s one of the problems with this industry…as airlines mature and longevity increases, costs go up, so any swinging Richard can raise money, start a new airline which operates for less, undercut everyone else, take market share, end up bankrupt or sold/merged, and the cycle repeats, which ultimately hurts the piloting profession. It’s kind of a don’t hate the player, hate the game, scenario, but if nobody went to breeze, they’d either raise wages or fold. So, the players do have a say in it. “But it’s better than mesa, so I’m doing better for myself and my family. It’s a Neeleman company and I’ll be double digit seniority for my whole career and we will make jetblue pay in 5 years after we ask for it nicely enough because we are the nicest airline.” Yeah. Sure. If this ALPA drive actually makes it, that will help. Hope you learn from JetBlue’s mistake of taking 15 years and 3 union drives to finally do it. Just my $.02 why trolls come around here.

Breeze pilots work for less, which puts pressure against industry wages and work rules (since this industry based largely on pattern bargaining). Same sentiment surrounded B6, same sentiment surrounds every start up that uses SJS and early seniority to subsidize wages and do more with less sniping pax with resultant lower fares from established carriers. Especially when you’re poaching RJ pilots just happy to fly something with more than 76 seats. Doing it when everyone else is going thru bankruptcy and no one is hiring is one thing. But right now, you could go pretty much anywhere and have a good career.

No…it’s not. Working under the RLA and in seniority based systems that pay based on seniority and longevity, not experience and quality, are not true capitalism. I can’t leave my captain job and associated pay at one airline and carry it to another based on my experience. A start up that capitalizes on that fact and substitutes seniority for pay kind of ruins the whole capitalism aspect of it. In true free market capitalism (like in most other 200-300k jobs), if I’m unhappy with my employer or I got a better offer elsewhere, I could leave and start over and never skip a beat. Can’t do that in this industry.

I’m here because I wish the best for these guys and gals and I’m interested in how things are going for them.
You’re here to be an immature petulance and to feel better about yourself at others expense. YOU and your ilk are making this thread less interesting and enjoyable. You contribute nothing to no-one here.
