Also, we are currently getting rid of the Ejet, so lots of senior pilots are transitioning to the 220, creating a negative relative seniorirty progression for the next 12 months.

We do have a bunch of A220s on order too though.

Waiting for a call or not, you’d be crazy to stay at a regional vs coming here. As far as morale? Amazing if you live in base. Commuting? Probably doable if you’re an hours flight from a base. My seniority number hasn’t moved up much at all, people are staying.

It is better than a regional. If you stick it out in PVD/BDL, you'll fly even on reserve. Holding a line will take a few months.

Breeze is full of folks who never left their prior airline, or couldn't, etc... (insert reason). So saying people are staying at Breeze is not a good indicator of morale... they never planned on leaving anyway.

Hence.... why I said it's creating negative relative seniorty for the next 12 months....

If you live in base, you will have some of the greatest lines in the industry once your a lineholder. If you commute, you will have the absolute worst QOL in the industry.

I know nothing about Breeze, but am curious what makes the lines so great and, conversely, so bad. Do you all only do day turns?

It’s mix of day trips and 2 to 3 day trips. Line holders get up to 19/20 days off and are home most of the month. Problem is the sequence of days on and off makes it not very commutable. You might have 5 off then you might have 4 on 2 off 3on etc with day trips too. So at least half the month or more might not be very commutable.

Maybe the few very senior Ejet pilots get 19-20 days off per month. The A220 pilots are seeing 14-17 off. And if you must commute you can expect 8-12 actual days off at home. You must live in a base to have the higher amount of days off. If you must commute it is unattainable. The trips start very early and finish very late!!

Is this common? Must be super efficient if guys are getting 19/20 days of while getting over guarantee..? And doesn't seem to make sense that schedules would be built that way below min guarantee.

quick questions,

Im mil fixed wing R-ATP eligible.
on the website it shows
  • 500 hours of US Military PIC on a multiengine, turbine powered, fixed-wing airplane or powered-lift aircraft requiring more than one pilot
Does this mean PIC as in aircraft commander time?
or is it the FAA definition of PIC which then i can count my military copilot time?
thanks in advance.

Depends on time of the year too, summer time with more flying there’s better schedules. January etc, not so much. But days off are around 15 to 18 off up to 20 off for line holders depending on how you bid.
