Hopefully they do the right thing at the end of the month and actually give a huge pay raise
The financials simply will not support huge raises. Breeze is burning cash. Avelo on the other hand has a very modest cash burn and should be profitable by summer. They would have already turned a profit had jet fuel not increased substantially. It appears their pilot strategy at Breeze is low pay and hire pilots with absolute minimum qualifications.
