they told us they have roughly 40 pilots in the hiring pool for the next 6 months. That doesn’t translate into massive growth, as promised.

also there is currently a wave of very senior captains leaving, as well as the normal revolving door of new hires that leave. We haven’t been able to consistently keep more than 400 pilots on the seniority list for any length of time

They’ll have a steady stream of first officers because this definitely beats going to any regional. As far as the senior captains leaving, if the EJET base shuffle really is coming, it’s understandable.

Better than a regional? Captains at regionals, especially LCA get paid better than legacies.

right now you need about 300-500 121 SIC to get called to interview.

I would only recommend Breeze if you live in a bigger A220 base. Chances of getting called to a legacy interview seem to be greater if you’re not flying their RJ’s with the same paint scheme on them

Anyone know if Breeze will be hiring regular F/O's soon? I only see an app for the high 121 time F/Os.

They said they will be posting A220 FO by the end of the year.

a few days ago, the pilots were informed that they have a pool of roughly 40 applicants, and they believe that will hold the company over for the next 6-8 months.

Plan for the A220, bc the 195s are on their way out and the 190s will only do charter

Is ORF still an E-Jet only base? Does anyone know base seniority like there, or future plans for the base? I just hit 2 years in at PSA and have great quality of life as a lineholder F/O, but upgrade is coming quick and not sure I want to upgrade here to get abused on short call reserve for years. AA is currently the ultimate goal, and we all know how that goes for wholly owned people waiting for flow. I also genuinely like the idea flying for a smaller company where you know people and that seems to have interest in hiring genuienly nice people. I have family in ORF/VA Beach area and used to live in the Outer Banks of NC, so wouldn't mind going back if that base was fairly quick from new hire.

Is Breeze/Alpa in contract negotiations? How is that progressing?
