I hear through the grapevine Breeze is now actively pursing Australians whom they plan to sponsor on work Visas to come fly here. Are things really that desperate they need to bring in overseas pilots? Sure, the money isn't mind blowing but...really? I know plenty of local guys and gals who have apps in and not getting a bite.

JB should be easy as I have thousands of hours in their equipment.
I am planning JB, but I wanted to get some more opinions…

What would you do if you were a startup with a big growth plan in a highly competitive labor market? Offering Delta or JB pilot wages as a startup probably not feasible initially. Not an easy situation - I’d rather have Americans flying the airplanes. Didn’t Skywest hire a bunch of Aussies at one point too?
Yeah I believe OO was at some point, I was told it was discontinued due to issues with verification of pilot experience/hours and some suspected logbook fraud from some of the overseas guys. Was easier to just terminate the program. OO has waiting lists for training into mid 2022 so doesn't seem to have affected them at this stage.

You’re comparing a startup/borderline regional airline to a major airline with a good contract. Also, unless you have major issues, United is hiring anyone who walks in the door right now. It’s never been easier to get a legacy job.

the pay has improved and it's more that JB FO pay.
unfortunately although I've had my application in for over a decade and recently constantly updated, none of the big boys called. perhaps I'm overqualified

and to make it more interesting, both class dates start within a couple of weeks of each other. JB first again

Your post reads like a jealous kindergartener who sees a ball the other kid had an wants it. Why has Breeze struck a nerve with you? Like, your post doesn’t come close to resembling a cautionary statement, just weird jealousy.
