For what it's worth it was the new generation of pilots saying no to pay and quality of life like that that led to the regionals not being able to fill classes which forced them to increase pay and QOL.
Airlines should have to compete with each other to fill classes, that's what is best for all pilots.

i'm sure many are accepting jobs there thinking exactly that, but there can only be so many free riders hoping the market forces their wages up after the fact, before the airline is minimally staffed

really me and every other pilot at ENY sees these cadets got too spoiled and entitled thinking they will get whatever they want. People used to make $12 an hour to handfly a Jetstream for 8 hours a day. Get over yourselves. You’ll be lucky to have a job. Look at it that way and you’ll be happier. This industry is rough

We have thousands of pilots on the street with the recent shutdowns, Breeze took advantage of it. You also have the crowd who looks at Breeze as an opportunity to gain a high seniority number by sacrificing their pay now. It’s a huge bet that could pay off nicely. But yes, the current pay rate is terrible.

Assuming they will onboard the cadets and send them home without a base or equipment? If they allow them to bid equipment then the furloughed pilots who are still being brought back would lose their minds. Then again, these cadets are the greatest of all time and should probably just skip Envoy and go right to mainline. Easiest solution is to only offer OFE to them.

And I’m sure the returning pilots won’t mind a little bit more paid time off if it means there will be new hires below them on reserve by the time they finish training.
