I would say JetBlue was more of a struggle of bad timing than anything, and they still managed to make it. The Breeze A220’s are nice, in a passengers eyes. The fares are cheap. Most of the routes are underserved, but they do plan routes that focus on tech or business travelers I.e. Providence, SDF-SFO, PVU-SFO. Time always tells, but in my opinion they seem to be doing well.

And we had no cancelations in July because we cut half of the flights. What you see all of the legacies doing right now for this fall, right sizing their ship, we have already done. Management at Breeze is playing “stupid games, stupid prizes”. If they continue to ignore the pilot market, they’re going to have trouble hiring and retaining.

Cheap labor that eye waters at Shiny Jets.

Niceness!!

I dont knowing this is true regarding regionals. I never worked for one but at majors it is taking years to hash one out without an end in sight.

That’s because the majors haven’t had to cancel flights because they don’t have enough applicants and because they’re seeing 5% attrition monthly. The regionals are in a world of pain, this is absolutely true. Even the greediest regionals are coming back to the table early so they can get enough fresh meat in the door.

Serving underserved and secondary markets, which is the same model Azul used. Granted US is different than Brazil so by no means am I'm implicating success. More so arguing that 100% failure is not guaranteed.

Does anyone have info on their Boost program? Anything about the 220's that have been ordered?

Rumor mill says they’re gonna paint them blue…

The majors have reduced flights by 8 to 14 % due to lack of pilots. They are able to vacuum up regional pilots, but they cannot get them trained and out on the line fast enough. Things will improve in the next year or two as far as majors cancellations. But the regionals will be collapsing, merging, reducing service with no immediate sign of recovery.
