Hoping someone can answer my following questions..
How long is indoc, systems?
How many FTD's & Sims?

We added roughly 200 pilots last year, probably more than that this year. So look at percentages.
Again commuting can be done just takes your days off away. Once in base even on reserve your home!
The plane is amazing, the people are great, just the trips are not commutable yet. You have to get to the base a day earlier and leave a day after.
In base: the trips are highly efficient flying day. 15 hrs 2 day trips with a 24 hr layover pretty great!
The company has to fix it or they will loose a lot of pilots this year

Thank you for the info!! My ultimate plan is to get the TPA base and ride out commuting on the A220 and build seniority. I’m pretty excited, not sure what I would do if I got the E190/195 though. Probably wouldn’t be for me. When do you find out?
On day 6 of an 18 day rotation 🫠… Keep seeing Breeze A220’s. When can I start lol

Home for about two weeks for CBT training
Two and a bit weeks (closer to three weeks away from home with days off included) for systems training with FTD work
Then about two and a bit weeks (about three weeks away from home too) for full flight training

The difference between the two is that Breeze has built a charter business on the side and it is actually doing well. Very well. The profit margin on charter is huge, and that money funds the airlines growth.
