So there’s an AA commuter in CHS who rides you guys to TPA, which isn’t his base? Cool story and nice coincidence for him I guess? Or is that supposed to be some sort of validation or example as to why major airlines should do a JS agreement with you all?

I’m not necessarily against a reciprocal JS agreement with breeze, just like I’m not against one with allegiant (or cape air, or a helicopter company, etc). But there are very few (probably zero?) existing routes where breeze would offer anything of value to most major airlines since none of your routes would get anyone to any major airline crew bases. If you guys don’t fly to any other airline’s crew bases, where most trips begin/end, then you likely won’t support many commuters. Except maybe for a one off trip that begins with a deadhead to one of your bases, like apparently Mr Charleston did to tampa.

Honestly, I don't know the details. He/she was just happy to jump with us from CHS to TPA. Said it helped him/her to avoid having to go through ATL.

Either way, you are ALWAYS welcome to jump with us. Always.. And hopefully you will.

Good to see Breeze taking the high road and just allowing commuters and being decent about it. Do you guys have all 13 E190/195 flying? Are they making decisions on when they might start interviewing for the coming aircraft deliveries and expansion?

Hello Chihuahua. As far as aircraft go, I'm not sure if we have all 13 flying yet. As you know, as they come on property they have to go through an initial process before they're ready to go on the line.

As far as hiring goes, right now we are mostly limited by the bottleneck of available check airmen, sim instructors, sim time, etc. as the training process is currently where the focus is to be ready for the hiring and training numbers coming our way. Having said that, windows for 220 and Ejet hiring are opening again soon. Weeks. Not months..

Is there any listing requirement for Breeze JS or do you just show up at the gate?
Also someone above said that SWA has a reciprocal agreement? SWAPA doesn't list them in their guide, but our JS committee is also undergoing a change in personnel right now.

Just show up at the gate and fill out the request form

That makes sense. Where is indoc done, is it a physical class or online? Is it true that the E190 will be doing day trips/turns and the A220 will be doing more traditional multi-day trips, and will they still be wanting E170/190 typed applicants or will they open it up to everyone? Also, where are the sims for both fleets being done at? Earlier posts said the only A220 sims in the US are at Delta in ATL and JetBlue In MCO. I assume Republic, AA as well as JetBlue have EMB sims, is Breeze buying sim time from them?

Alright thanks. I am going to give it a shot in a couple of weeks as long as they don't do another "schedule adjustment".

I concur with BobbyLee. You can list at the gate. But we're also on MyIDTravel now too.

Chi.... Indoc is done in Utah. Door pull in Orlando for a day at Jet Blue. 190/195 sims in Dallas now, as of recently.

190/195 and 220's. Your statement is true. As of now day trips vs. traditional trips.

170/190/195 types. not sure if they've opened it to non types, but I DO know they've recently hired non-typed.

220 sims? not sure, man. sorry..
