Best case scenario and it is a lonnnnnnnng shot breeze becomes an allegiant JetBlue style airline who will undoubtedly always pay less than the other carriers. The hiring wave is passing on by and its breezes best chance at survival. Spirit and JB guys are flooding the legacies with apps at the moment, competition is getting high and the regionals will start to stagnate. I expect breeze to start getting lots of apps. Last time that happened they lowered our pay. I’m just really happy all that’s behind me and the **** sandwich is finished.
Sorry, the math just doesn't add up regarding pay. Especially if we actually do get a contract next 3 years. Assuming you don't care about widebody international flying, you'd be taking a pay cut leaving Breeze. By the time you make the same amount there as you did here, assunming you didn't take the first avaiable upgrade that nobody wants, either we have the contract with DC or you would have had crazy seniority. Now's probably not the best time to be switching companies, unless you have to. You need as many people under you as possible with all the volatilty. Also I'm sure a lot of us are here for something different, not just pay. Otheriwse why would you go to a startup, it's a gamble.
