Does anyone know if Breeze still or has had ever offered a home basing option for A220 captains? I'm thinking of going this route.
I'd appreciate any info on the direct entry A220 program as well. I'm a current 175 CA for a regional. Thanks.

There is no true home basing option like there is on the Ejet. There’s a virtual type basing on the A220 where trips start out of certain cities. The theory is that it’s better than commuting to our current A220 bases but you’re still expected to commute in. Those are still going senior for now.

Things are getting rather, let’s say “Testy” and the culture that was suppose to be growing and getting better, is shrinking and getting worse. Yes, even the great DN is getting rather obtuse with the staff. The airline has poor leadership. Most came from Allegiant where the culture has always been rather toxic and is becoming that way at this airline. A lot of promises were, and continue, to be made which are turning out not to be true. It has become a culture of deceipt and deception and while a lot are hangining on for dear life, more and more are realizing it’s a bad organization. I wanted to be positive and hope for the future but I no longer have those feelings. I am burned out on the constant lies our management tells us. I thought it had a chance but think it’s honestly heading in the wrong direction with the wrong people.
The A220 is a white elephant. It constantly breaks down and the flights have to be covered by the Ejet which does not have the same capability. Sixty are on order. There are 13 in the fleet and apparently in 18 months there will be 37. I do not believe that this is possible. The passengers seem to get lied to a lot as well and part of your job will be to constantly apologize to them. The consistent chaos will wane on you.
You will join excited, you will become frustrated and then angry and then you will decide you made a mistake and it’s time to move on.
Dear Management
You have to change. No one really believes you anymore and please stop patting yourselves on the back every Tuesday for creating this mess that you now have. The pay will not be enough as you can’t just throw money at your employees and then lie to them and abuse them. Your passengers are angry as well as evidenced in Social Media. If you do not take heed, you will fail and you will take a lot of people with you!

to OP: either quit or don’t, but here’s the best advice I’ll give you. Back your head out of mgmt’s a$$ a little bit so you can breathe. Fly your line and enjoy your off days. Stop crying and worrying so much about what mgmt tells you. Just fly and go home. This is not hard. If you have this much anxiety here, you’ll have that much anywhere else and it’s gonna ruin your whole career for you.

SWA is doing great financially. They pay industry standard or better rates. They are very profitable. Breeze is burning cash like a pile of gasoline soaked rags. This is in the highest revenue environment airlines have ever seen. At some point the investors will demand results.
