Well if they are still there 5 years later they definitely earned it!

Clarification, they move up after year 5, so year 6 onwards.

That is correct, thanks for correcting me. Also, I think they’ll still be around in 5 years if they continue that kind of pay. The other regionals might not be though.
they also give you credit for pervious 121 time. So if you worked for a regional for a year your first year pay would be $150hr assuming you have 750hrs 121. It’s going to be hard for Breeze to recruit when a regional is offering higher pay.

the training back log is on the Airbus due to Airbus in Montreal not having sim availability. There is no delay on the E190. ALPA vote June 23-August 11th. We believe Breeze is planning on all charter for the E190 starting in September, E195s will do line flying but they are cutting the aircraft allocation down in the bases going into the fall. There’s little to no information on how this works. Luckily it appears that a lot of west coast commuters may want to do charter.

The charter thing it seems like they just sprung on everyone, and it looks like it is happening. They need to be careful in how they sort out the details for charter flying otherwise they might lose pilots. Many would like to be home every night or at least not be on the road for more than 4 or 5 days and that’s one of the reasons you take the job at breeze. The 7 on 7 off or 14 on 14 off they’re thinking about is a drastically different quality of life. 7 on is probably the max airline folks would be willing to do, otherwise they would have already gone to other operators that have you on the road for 8 to 14 days.

Some of the current markets are seasonal. In the fall they’re going to dedicate just the E190s on charters because they’ve been making a lot of money on them. Eventually it’s going to be all A220s for airline flying and the E190/195 will be all charter.
