Because the only reason to apply to Breeze is because those other airlines mentioned haven’t called you yet. Even then, it’s a place to hang your hat until they do call.

This is NOT a knock on Breeze as an airline or its pilots. The time to get hired there has long passed in their initial cadre and a few classes after. Those pilots will see super seniority for the entirety of their careers there. Folks hired today, outside of attrition movement, will be eternally behind a sizable group of 25-35 year olds.

the whole place will likely fold soon! Losing 50million per quarter is not sustainable!! We’ve already burned through all of our startup cash and still losing!! Parking A220s for engine problems soon, and the Ejets are being removed!! So the massive growth plans have turned in to reducing fleet size!! Wow if you’re smart you would have left already!!!

If they have burned through all their cash they would have shutdown. The question is if and when they will seek additional funding and what terms they can get if capital is available.

Maybe the Ejet pilots lol A220 pilots seem to be a lot older. Company still hasn’t hired their last captain yet so there’s plenty of seniority to be had. The trick is to get here and get into a new base while it’s still junior. There will be more bases opening, there’s tons of A220s coming with additional options as well.

What does the company say about the continuing losses and possible funding sources? You state they keep you updated. The question must come up often. Any discussion on deferring deliveries to conserve cash? Who is Azorra and how bad are those leases?

One would hope Breeze is not doing that either!
