Just out of curiosity, why would Breeze not open a base in ORD or MDW?

Are those bases too large as fortress hubs for United, Southwest, and American for Breeze to be competive?

Breeze operates in secondary routes where there’s no direct competition. If we ever go into ORD it won’t be because we have a base, it would be from some random city no legacy airline has service to. It’s going to be interesting to see what the route structure looks like if we do get all the 120 A220s. There’s supposedly thousands of routes they have planned but it seems there’s only so many secondary markets to fly to, maybe they’re looking at a bunch of international routes. But no, we won’t have a Chicago base anytime soon unless it’s from Dupage or something!

Others have tried and got absolutely destroyed. Legacies see you move in, match your route, and slash prices and operate it at a loss until you either go out of business or abandon the hub. Spirit tried to grow ORD huge and that exact same thing happened. They then had to cut the pilot base in half and reduce service out of ORD.

So.... Breeze has 25 airplanes and handles the 2024 IT meltdown with relative ease (mostly because we're cheap and borderline do things by hand anyway).... Que the "Delta couldn't even do that" comment on the upcoming pilot call. I'm willing to place a wager that its said within the first 6 minutes. Anybody? How about a parlay? 12 minutes before someone in management says Delta couldn't recover because of ALPA

Dude why don't you just quit. Jesus H Christ, if it fails, at least you'll get out clean with a basket of "I told- you-sos." Freaking hate people like you.

I think he is just poking fun at how management turns anything into a false positive week after week on our pilot meeting

1. Breath.

2. I can't quit right now.

3. Breeze has fantastic therapy insurance.

Relax brother (or sister).
