I don't have a plan for the future and think Cape is the type of place I'd like to try out since I'm still in my early 30's. I have 1900 hours total time of which 1400 hours is 121 turbine time on the Emb-145. I think I'll be good in the future should I be required to have turbine time somewhere, granted it's not PIC turbine but it's turbine just the same. I only have about 400 hours of PIC time and I think Cape is a good place to increase that while becoming a better rounded pilot. I dont want to get stuck in line at a regional in the $20k - 40k range for the next 5-10 years as an FO. I think I would be happy making an average of $40k-50k per year as a captain at Cape Air for the next 3-5 years and weigh my options after that. Whats most attractive to me is being home each night and having short hauls. I hated living out of hotel rooms 4 days a week and sitting in airports not getting paid. My goal is only to make a decent happy living, not a move to the majors. What do you think? Is Cape a good fit for me in your opinion?
