Breeze leadership subtly threatening another pilot who’s on their way out??
It’s like they love ruining their kindness and integrity which, for those of you prepping for an interview at the world’s nicest airline, are two of the core values.

Can anyone shed some light on what the current schedules are like on the E190? I’m thinking if I get hired I’d probably my commute for the first year and see where bases open up.
New to PBS so would it be possible to work six days twice a month? I’d want to spend the least amount of days commuting as possible.

I have a video interview with Breeze a week from now for the E190/195. I live in Atlanta, so I was just wondering if commuting from here is possible?

So what would a normal schedule look like for a new guy on the E190/195 if it's just one day trips. I'm very open to flying for Breeze after looking at everything. I'm just a little unsure of how the schedule would work. You said earlier "I have 20 days off including a block of 11 days straight". If I could do something similar being new that would be great.
Also is Charleston (KCHS) still an option for new hires? It's a 5 hour drive for me from Atlanta so about the same as flying.

Honestly, things are changing quickly around here. I wouldn't count on 20 days off right away because that usually happens when you're top two in base, but with new bases opening soon, people are going to be moving around a lot, so top two in a base may not be far away.
And yes. guys are getting CHS out of training recently, or maybe a month or two later. Again, if it were today, you might get stuck Reserve in ORF for a couple months. But by the time you get through training, everything will be different than today.
Not helpful, but accurate.

the Ejets are all day trips. Some days are front end commutable some are back end commutable. However none of them are both front and back end and because of the times they are scheduled for as well as length you typically can’t get the trips to abut each other to be commutable on both ends.
the A220 is going to be even worse based off of the initial schedule. The two day trips will be a very early 5-6 AM show, flying two legs ending up on the west coast, followed by a ~24hr overnight, and then two legs back to the east coast base the following day arriving between 9-11PM. So you won’t be able to put two two-day trips back to back on that fleet.
Reserve is 11 days off, you will be lucky to spend 6-8 nights actually at home if your commuting to reserve.
until we are consistently flying 7 days of the week, the schedules will suck for the majority of pilots here unless you live in base. The number one pilot here is a commuter. He should be able to get exactly what he wants but yet he almost never gets his schedule the way he bid because the company throws extra trips on everyone’s schedule to cover the flying.

If they throw it on a line holder, just refuse it and make a deal to fly it for premium or don’t fly it at all.

Never seen that??? There is plenty of open time, but I’ve never heard one pilot here just randomly have trips added. Unless maybe you’re talking about reserve? Then it’s just like being on… reserve?
