Any idea what the possibility of TPA is right out of training or how long it will take to get TPA? I have a class date coming up soon was trying to get an idea of what to expect.

TPA is probably the most senior base, so definitely not out of training. Breeze bases are tiny so expect to wait a while for TPA, if ever. Unless another FL base is opened, I believe there’s a bunch Of legacy Ejet guys who live down there and will likely go to TPA after they transition to the 220. That will only make it more senior. If you’re not willing to move I’d look at F9 for a Tpa base. F9 has a lot more pilots per base compared to Mx. if you decide to stay, welcome to the team!

Thank you for being very candid and I kind of figured as much. As a follow-up, are there any "New Hires" going to East Coast bases out of training? I do live in TPA and moving (for a long period of time) would not be an option, although, I would consider CHS as a new home. Just trying to make the best decision on the information I'm given. Thanks to all for your input!

I would expect ORF and MSY on the 190 and BDL and PVD on the 220. I believe any base is a achievable except for TPA. But as you must have read in this thread, breeze is not commuter friendly. Amazing if you live in base and horrible if you commute.

Thanks Swap, all great information!

Hey guys who are currently flying,

1. Would you know if they are assigning the whole class to a type or is bidding back on the table?

2. Between the two types what are the pros and cons? Does one have a better QOL, hours, organisation etc over the other?


Cheers!

Depends on the class. Some are all single type some have both. Both fleets are growing so I would expect options.

If you’re a commuter I believe the 190 charter is your best bet. Those lines are currently full but they are trying to grow the program. If you live in base, they can be type specific. As far as the flying and QOL neither type is great compared to a legacy or other LCC’s (there’s just not a lot of options) Do you want to rip a 4 leg regional day or 2-3 leg transcon?

What are the specifics surrounding the upgrade time for someone coming in with 1000 121 SIC time and wanting PVD/BDL

Can someone elaborate on the training timeline? Basically start to finish, how long Indoc is, do you go home before SIM's, etc.. Thanks again for everyone's input. Just trying to get an idea of expectations and timelines.

4-5 months, but the training dept. is trying to get that timeline down. It was about 70 days when I came though in 2021. That’s the target they’re trying to get back to.
