Beyond low wages, bases will be a big issue for Breeze IMO. At these low wages, I hope bases are offered in low-cost markets so people who want to live in base can afford it. Neelman talks about Breeze avoiding direct competition with JB and other majors and hitting 3rd tier markets. So, it makes me wonder where some of these bases could be - Toledo? Syracuse? Tucson? Des Moines? Portsmouth? Greenville? Daytona Beach?

The potential list is very long and could be a deciding factor for potential commuters who need to get to their planes....

He doesn’t want commuters. He’s going to want pilots to live in base. So yea, that’s gonna require a move to a city like the ones you mentioned.

Syracuse has been trying to attract SWA for years with no success.No doubt they have rolled out the red carpet for Breeze. Probably a good 3rd tier market for Breeze - even Frontier and Allegiant serve SYR.

Allegiant has Ogdensburg, NY. Canadians come across the bridge from Ottawa and save big bucks on the international flights down to Orlando. All the money up there comes from Canada. Upstate NY is so economically depressed it’s not funny. Look at the cost of housing in OGS. Buy a 3000sqft house for $28,000. No jobs

King Coumo and his taxes. Only jobs are government jobs up there. It’s competitive to work at McDonalds up there. People with 4 yrs degrees fighting for serving jobs. Most have left the state.

How dare you leave King Cuomo last in your comments peasant? His name is plastered on every state park entrance so you don’t forget. He is the largest employer of people in the state of NY.

Remember don’t go, 71 MPH in a 65 MPH zone on I-81 or you’ll be pulled over for speeding. They need to keep their huuggggeeeee State Police force busy.

Don’t even think about buying a gun. He’ll have you out in jail.
