I’ve had one day off the last two weeks and get min rested every night. We collect MELs like Pokémon and are told to info to mx everything instead of hard write ups. I could go on and on as I’m sure every pilot could anywhere. But truly, the “bad” things I’m reading about breeze are better than the good things where I’m at.
To be fair a lot of the comments are all dependent on previous experiences elsewhere which form your perspective on it all. Bare in mind that a lot of (senior) people left an established operator to gamble on Breeze, whether it was to get in early on seniority for the ‘Next JetBlue’ or simply for bases where they want to live. So they are used to proper 121 operations and other ancillary support, not to mention they have been promised improvements and more deliveries/routes (Read: Movement and progression) for a number of years now.
Add into that the fact that the 2 fleets have wildly different schedules and QOL elements, which doesn’t help either.
Congrats on getting through to the latter stages of the application. As you’ve said already, the bad stuff at Breeze is vastly better than the good stuff at your current place, so it’s going to be a positive move for you. Whether it’s the last move is a question for a different day.
P.S I’d much rather people complain on a forum instead of on the line, it can be a long day out with someone who brings their frustrations to work.
