Margaritaville

Rare moment Labbats and I agree. You will get bent over, I promise. We lived it.

Well said.

So now I gota make my life decisions based on what you guys and your company are doing? I want the industry to move in the right direction for pilots, but if I feel this is the right move for me then I'm a cockroach? Do you also get on the Sun Country page and light them up? Bottom line for me is this is a second career for me, it allows me to have the time to focus on my main gig cause of the base and schedule. The notion that it's some how my responsibility to go someplace to benefit someone els is bananas to me. I'm gona look out for me period. Making decisions to to help others? Sounds like some liberal stuff right there.

I might be wrong but I don't think this 80 pilot airline is comparable to Allegiant or Jetblue yet.

Breeze wouldn’t be my first choice but Legacy’s and other well established LCC’s aren’t exactly lining up at the door. I suppose I should quit flying and go work at Home Depot so your union has leverage to negotiate.

You do know that after Breeze, Allegiant is the next lowest paid right? Why are your pilots willing to work for wages that make it difficult for JetBlue come contract time. They will lose money now because your willing to work for so much less!!!

Don't worry Margaritaville is sending every breeze pilot letter of recs 🤣

Dude you’re talking about breeze and you fly for allegiant 😂. At least breeze has the excuse that they are brand new (no where near making a profit) and fly smaller equipment. G4 makes a ton of cash and still pays you guys garbage. Please tell me how allegiant has helped others negotiate better contracts?? Comparing the 2 I think breeze has the upper hand and they’ve been flying 5 months vs 23 years. Same business model day trips but at least with Breeze you have a chance of being based somewhere decent out of training (CHS TPA). Better than up rooting your family to FNT. Same first year pay but upgrade at breeze in less than a year at 130hr. Their Capt pay will undoubtedly be a least what g4 has within a couple years. I’m not promoting ppl to stay at breeze but it could definitely be a stepping stone until something better shows up.

Idk AVL, TYS, BNA are all great bases plus all the Florida ones if thats your jam.

Not getting that fresh out of training. You’ll be in FNT or some other crappy base they have. Oh and at least breeze gives you $1500 a month to cover an apartment or pay for hotels. G4 gives nothing and they’re the same rate first year. Breeze needs to improve but the G4 guy should be the last one calling ppl sellout cockroaches.

Here's a thought!.. How much is spending time with your wife/husband/ and kids worth? How much is it worth to be there for all those games, those parent nights, those birthdays.. church. How much does a pilot have to make per hour before that silly family stuff is worth less than all that pay?

Spolier alert.. that number is relative to each of us. And quite frankly, it's none of any one else's business what my family is worth to you. I only answer to them. And for many people at Breeze who are here because being home every night, and at least all day three days a week, it is worth way more than what you value it to be, this is why many people are here.

Call us crazy. But our families love seeing us every day. 🤷‍♂️

Cockroaches? Seriously.. enjoy your divorce (es).
