So I was reading about Breeze Airways and their pilot pay in 2026, and it seems pretty solid for a low-cost carrier. First officers on the A220 are looking at $105 to $158 per hour, while captains can earn up to $280 per hour. Not too shabby, right? Especially when you think about the career progression opportunities with their growing fleet.
Breeze has fully switched over to the Airbus A220-300s, retiring their Embraer jets, which means pilots are flying modern aircraft with all the latest tech. I guess that's a plus for anyone looking to get some quality flying time.
They also seem to offer a decent benefits package, with health insurance, retirement plans, and even travel perks. It's interesting how they're positioning themselves as a good option for pilots who want to avoid the big hub-and-spoke airlines.
What do you guys think about Breeze's all-A220 fleet strategy? Do you see this as a smart move for attracting pilots? And how do you think their salaries stack up against other low-cost carriers?
