I went to an aviation college before the Navy and have had to compete with them to commute to ORD and DC since I left active duty (on ships) and started flying 121. I left Air Wisconsin with a LOT of pilots when they dropped the Norfolk base and refused to budge on pay. I think Breeze picked the right place to run day trips from. Now lets see what happens with pay.
That will not be enough to sustain that base……. I considered them since I live in the area and wanted to come in as a DEC. However, for the minimums they wanted I would be super competitive for the majors.
There will be a few though, but it’s a small number.
