That route cancelled because it takes too many resources. We’re shifting those 2 pilots and airplane to run a CAK - XNA route. That’s where we make our money.

It’s a great place to lose your mind and never be home.
Lots and lots of talk from management but never any action.

Well I have heard of some growing pains, I certainly hope things improve for you! If one was hired in the next few months as an FO do you think they would be able to get TPA right from the get go?

I think growing pains is an understatement. If you have even marginal qualifications you can get hired at better options. JetBlue was filing full financial reports almost from the first day of operations. Breeze is radio silent but sources that have tried to build a financial statement report staggering losses. Jet blue had its first flight in Feb of 2000. In 2001 they had a 38 million dollar profit and went public with a IPO. That was despite the events of the fall of 2001.

Do you really think their is no hope for Breezes future? I’m not a spring chicken so I was looking at it from the angle of 1.rapid seniority 2. A Florida base. 3. The A 220 sure seems like a Great plane, and the David Neeleman guys massive experience. I was thinking If hired that the first year or 2 would be somewhat rough but then things would exponentially workout? Your pay rates look great! I would like opinions from you or anyone else from Breeze on the situation. Thanks

Makes me wonder if Neeleman and black swan events are related.

Things seem to be improving operationally but the summer will expose how bad or good breeze is really doing. Lots of nay sayers (rightfully so) but imo the future is bright. Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of short falls. Many things need fixing but there are a lot of 220’s coming so that should help with some of the issues. They’re really working on block time and turn performance and making adjustments there. Also working on cuantos me service by hiring above the wing in house. Also they keep saying the goal is Profitability this fall as well, so another deadline to measure state of breeze. Charter kept breeze afloat no doubt this winter and the 220s should have a good summer this year so things seem to be trending in the right direction.

Cash from investors is what has kept Breeze afloat. That is the one area Breeze did well. They were heavily Capitalized. We will see if they have to go shopping for more Capital soon. The terms will be ugly if they do.

They called the first gen Breeze quitters crazy for leaving, yet Uncle David has still failed to deliver on basic QOL promises almost 2 years later.

Turns out past results are not indicative of future performance.
