Lol, yeah I think that's more accurate. The company seems pretty serious about the Block Island thing though. Guess we'll see, doesn't matter to me either way, I'm not gonna fly that piece of junk. lol. As far as the ATR typo in the article, it'll be interesting to see if that's still a typo in 5 years or so...

I've flown the DC9, 319/320 and currently fly the B757/767. Your statement simply isn't true. The only thing the 319/320 provides that the B757/767 doesn't is that with the autopilot disengaged the aircraft trims itself. Also V1 cuts are slightly less laborious in the 319/320. But you can watch both aircraft types fly all the way to a stop. You can "monitor" the Boeing just as much as the Airbus.

One thing I do miss about the Airbus 319/320 is the tray table. It's so hard to eat my Business Class meal from a tray on my lap.

Just wondering if any current Cape pilots could share any thought or insight into where some recent new hire FO's may be placed? Any current areas of need? Any info or opinions would be greatly appreciated because Cape has been pretty vague on what to expect come September/October.

Thanks a lot

I am interviewing for a Captain position. I got the option to move it up because I believe he said they were trying to fill an August class. I could have misunderstood, I was just happy to have it sooner.

Thanks for the quick reply! I was hoping I did not miss the call while I was on vacation. It sounds like the are trying to get all the captain spots filled first then interviewing for the FO spots. Good luck with the interview!
