Comparing the 2 I think breeze has the upper hand and they’ve been flying 5 months vs 23 years. Same business model day trips but at least with Breeze you have a chance of being based somewhere decent out of training (CHS TPA). Better than up rooting your family to FNT. Same first year pay but upgrade at breeze in less than a year at 130hr. Their Capt pay will undoubtedly be a least what g4 has within a couple years. I’m not promoting ppl to stay at breeze but it could definitely be a stepping stone until something better shows up.
We are currently in section 6 negotiations. Our contract is 5 years old, 6 months past its amenable date. When we first signed, we were the highest paid in class, and then got leap frogged by everyone.
Do you even know what you're talking about?
Tell me about your union. Wait never mind.

Breeze has some of the same EX Allegiant management people that did everything in their power to keep a union off the property, fight against a CBA, and seemed to work hard to make pilots' lives miserable just for their enjoyment. I don't knock you for what you are doing, I get the not having options standpoint and the doing it for my family viewpoint, but please don't kid yourself about the work rules, pay rates, stock, etc being a good thing for your pilots or the company making everything right soon.
This guy gets it.
