American Eagle clearly asks this question on the previous employment verification form, which is sent to all aviation employers for the last 5 years "Would you re-employ this person?"

And for any reason if this is answered as NO, then that person can't be hired at Eagle, I know that for sure. I can imagine SKW & XJT would the be same way too.

So anyways, I sent a lot of messages & emails to people & did manage to talk to a few people from other forums as well. They were all of the same view, that if one's intention is just to get to 1500 & leave, it is not a good idea to go to Cape. Even though some people do it, they usually regret doing so later in life.

And since my immediate goal is to reach 1500 & go to a regional and I don't want to have a questionable prior employment history, I have given up the idea of going to pursuing Cape Air as an option.

Best of luck to all other aspiring people....

Now I just have to figure out how to get the remaining 400 hrs.....
