Do UA 319/320/321 pilots go between the 3 types? If so, does the pay vary based on which length of aircraft they're flying?

So I booked a ticket on the PVU inaugural and noticed that they have a "Technology Development Charge" - similar to NK/G4/F9 and their carrier usage fees. Basically a part of the fare that isn't subject to the 7.5% excise tax. With the other carriers, the way to get that fee dropped is to ...
Jump to postI don't know. I think they have gotten past some of the earlier turmoil and flights are more consistent now.

I have to say, it is popular here to poo-poo the new guys, it's also popular by some to act as though the new guys are going to revolutionize the industry. Neither are always necessarily true. That said, IF Breeze manages to make it through this summer, they're going to have some work to do to get ...
Jump to postExactly, I’m glad it’s clearly communicated and easy to do, but not giving an option for travelers to get home within 24 hours without spending out of pocket is far from “adequate” in my opinion. People have booked important and expensive trips on the schedule Breeze said they could fly. Travel wit...
Jump to postLooks like they had the inagural Orlando flight yesterday - but based on the articles about it, it feels a bit low key vs their other new cities.
Jump to postCancelled for 6/24: MX236 CHS-RIC-LAS MX416/436/437/417 ORF-PVD-RIC-PVD-ORF MX 101 SFO-CHS-TPA MX 128 TPA-ORF Cancelled for tomorrow, 6/25… MX 243 LAS-SYR-CHS Already cancelled for Saturday, 6/26… MX 116 TPA-RIC-SFO Ouch. I wonder how many of the preserved flights will be operated by charters?
Jump to postAfter their Tuesday off, the Breeze A220s are right back on the same track. MXY224 is already delayed 7.5 hours tomorrow with the return flight from LAS canceled. Seats were still being sold on MXY225 as of Tuesday afternoon! All long haul A220 flights for the next couple weeks are showing either o...
Jump to postAlso, I followed up with them about the difference in fare that I paid, since I bought the nicest fare, but with no A220, nicest wasn't offered. I was basically told tough luck, and that they can change aircraft and no refund will be offered. While they only have 12 complaints with the DOT in Q1 th...
Jump to postI'm sorry to say, the issues are on Breeze's management. Lightsaber I would agree. I wonder if the lengthy delay from FAA for A220 flying certification rushed the launch hoping they could meet their revised projection. It appears flight delays could be resulting in crew time outs and nobody availab...

Jump to postI think the IFE gets GPS information only. When we fly on standard QNH it will seem a bit off that the IFE altitude is displaying something like 36143 feet. GPS altitude is actual altitude over mean sea level. Flight levels, on the other hand, vary in actual altitude depending on the current pressu...
Jump to postYeah, the turns at SFO have been worse than the others. However, if you glance at the the FlightAware records of the SDF, RIC, and CHS turns in the morning and evenings, they seem to be averaging about 75 minutes where they are only scheduled for 40 minutes. I get the feeling that trying to make Br...
Jump to postN204BZ managed to complete SFO runs on Sunday and Monday (CHS and SDF) without too much delay. It appears that the operation is getting better, however, there does seem to be some struggle with the quick turns at CHS, SDF, and RIC along with the turn at SFO . I assume these issues will continue to ...

Jump to postI was onboard 203 on Wednesday in RIC. I flew SFO-RIC-TPA so got to stay onboard during the stop. There was no water leak. The delay was due to two things: 1.

What was the load factor like on the RIC-SFO leg? Both RIC-SFO and the return were probably around 105/126 seats Nicest cabin about 2/3rds full. I'd estimate 70 on the TPA-RIC and back.

Jump to poststaff shortages and absences caused by illnesses have left the FAA with only one inspector capable of signing off on the planes.

Jump to postAny rumors on the status of the A220 certification? Now less than a week away from the first (re)scheduled flight. N203BZ is the only A220 that seems to be doing any of the test flights.

Jump to postHere's something I found interesting: quite a few of the TPA-SFO Breezethrough flights are $745 next month. The flights seem over half full, although for awhile the fares were a good bit lower. If they're able to capture that sort of revenue this summer, I could see some growth acceleration with the...
Jump to postN203BZ has been doing the runs, and just did a LAS-ABQ turn.
Jump to postI disagree here... I'm well aware that their SFO and LAX routes were announced pretty early on, but their networks from the two cities seems largely based on inbound traffic. For SFO, I would think that more passengers are flying from PVU/SBD/SDF/RIC/CHS/HPN into SFO as opposed to passengers travel...
