But in order for breeze to capitalize on that potential, they will need pilots, I Just don’t see how they’re going to manage their hiring needs. Unless a couple regionals fold and all of a sudden you have 100’s on the street. Maybe that’s their strategy 🤔
Some problems with that theory.
1) Not enough frequency. Breeze doesn't even offer daily frequency, much less multiple flights daily.
2) People can just drive to larger cities and have many more route options.
3) Breeze airfares are NOT ULCC fares.
