To the young FOs - do not let these captains convince you that this is the best place to be. "Just imagine where JetBlue was 20 years ago".... stop. Just stop. As mentioned very well above, Breeze is a great first job, but it is not a long term job. Just as Breeze is changing on each bid, theres nothing saying it won't for the worse at any time. There is no guarantee Tampa, Charleston, Provo, etc... will be bases forever. In fact, it's likely they won't be.
Ok except it’s the same 3 or 4 on here that have been saying the same thing for hundreds of pages now. Not very impressive. Probably unhappy with their situation, most likely messed up their legacy interview and have been stuck and now have too much seniority to leave. Except for one that pulled a 180 as soon as he decided he’s leaving, so now breeze must suck for everyone. The reality though is that seniority numbers haven’t changed much, people are staying and trying to make it better, and as far as the FOs, they’re not dumb, they know exactly what to do, they’re not listening to their CAs for advice. If you came here for the wrong reasons then it’s going to be hard to stay. Either way, best of luck nobody is forcing you to stay. Like they say, you won’t know if you made the right decisions until you’re setting the parking brake for the last time.
