Breeze planned on being very low cost like most startups, generate a year or so of profits, go public and pay off the investors and then a buy out or merger.
The problem was Breeze could not stick it to their employees as planned because pilot saleries soared and people found out they really don't need to work. Their college kid part time flight attendants want to party not have jobs And be forced to live in company housing.
Breeze original pilot pay, can't really report work rules as they had none:

• First officers will be paid $55 per hour in year one, and $94 per hour in year six
• Captains will be paid $117 per hour in year one, and $143 per hour in year six
• Pilots are only guaranteed pay for 55 hours per month of flying (this is really the worst part, since pilots at most airlines are guaranteed 75+ hours per month)
