Most tertiary airports aren't going to have infrastructure to support commuters such as crashpads, a variety of airport hotels, public transit, etc.

And as for commuters, earlier this year Breeze was offering pilots who lived within 30 miles of their base $1500/month for 30 months on top of regular pay. But that is not offered anymore, so I am not sure what their game plan is to attract quality pilots anymore.

HA and AS are known to filter applicants by zip code with that in mind, but they both have bases in places where some (enough) pilots really want to live.

Knowing where the bases are would be helpful. I’d certainly be interested in working here, but having to two leg commute or move to a place with a high cost of living for a wage I could make working at Target...I wouldn’t do it.

For those comparing Breeze to initial B6 pay, don’t forget about the stock options offered at both B6 and his previous startup WestJet. Both startups had their IPO in about 3 years and the early classes all became millionaires off the stock within a reasonable amount of time.

Plenty of folks in the bay can tell you all about the joys of working for stock options

While true that some in the early
Classes made money the majority of pilot stock
Options at JB expired worthless.
