I’m not sure if the posted pay scale on APC reflects the “paying more” that article states but whether warranted or not, given the anger and frustration US pilots have felt over the past 10-15 years about pilots working for less, I can see a $hit storm on the horizon with Australian pilots being singled out for flying for what Breeze is offering.
I’m not saying don’t do it but be aware that the pay is less than any of the ULCC currently flying in the US. The only way that might be mitigated is if they’re represented by either ALPA or god forbid, the teamsters. A non-union carrier staffed mostly by foreign nationals is going to have a target on its back.
