Yes. Yes, they do.
I left before the contract with the IBT was done, so I don't know what restrictions they have now, but in the past Cape has had a 1 year full time commitment, then you could fly part time or on call. There weren't year-round ACK based pilots, but HYA and other domiciles had retired major airline pilots, both as full timers and on call.
