That being said Breeze is a good place to work if you live in base, but commuting is rough. The airline has low priority on other carriers for commuting, and the commuter policy is vague, especially if you need two legs to get to base. If you use it more than a handful of times, it can lead to disciplinary action pretty quick. Crash pads are hard (impossible) to find in most bases, so you'll probably be stuck paying for hotels, like Leftapproved said. Breeze offers positive space commuting on its own metal, but unless you live somewhere they fly and don’t mind getting in a day or two early, you’ll need to commute on another airline.
Considering it was mentioned on one of these threads that DN was saying “Give Breeze a chance” and that they are concerned that the attrition rate will increase once the majors start spooling up their hiring…surely they must know that making commuting more viable is a quick way to improve retention?
