It's kind of surprising that Neeleman showed so little creativity this time. All he did was cut and paste the allegiant business model but hired a bunch of Skywest refugees at Skywest pay to keep costs low and flew used worn out E190s. Then they acquired a bunch of brand new 220s thinking brand new factory warantee airplanes would have extremely low operating costs. Well the 220 has turned out to be a train wreck and the pilots and FAs all went union and will demand pay parity with the majors. Breeze is not making money. Breeze has never made money. Breeze can't make money. If they ever get a market foothold allegiant will just move in there and squash them. PVU is a fine example. It's not long before the investors quit throwing good money after bad and force a sale.
In fact you have our history completely wrong. Neeleman was asked to be here to be a face for financial funding. And he got it. Most of our management is from Allegiant, whether you like Allegiant or not I don’t care, but that airline is one of the most profitable in the world. You can come to APC, go to another airlines forum and throw a tantrum all you want, but Breeze definitely has a shot at being a great airline. Going to the big three isn’t for everyone. Get over yourself and be a little bit more open minded
