Just go look at the 20 somethings hired at any regional these days, sure the pay is a little higher, but the shiny jet syndrome is all the same.




Is it possible that one of the key selling points about Breeze is also the bases and schedules are nothing like what you get at a standard airline and some people just want that kind of change of pace, and unlike Allegiant it's still probably possible to hold a desired base in not that long or straight out of class? Is Breeze really hiring "young" pilots that don't know any better and have shiny jet syndrome, or are they hiring the guys that might have flown at a regional for a bit, 121 supplemental, 91K, 135, and want something that gives them a better QOL if they live in one of the bases? While yes, pay should always be better, some guys may have just come to the conclusion that in this career you either get good pay or good QOL, but you rarely get both, and is it possible Breeze might be the right fit for some people from that perspective and they're not trying to be scabs or hurt some other airline's pilots?
