Full medical benefits, does the employee contribute or is it paid all by the company? I work for Cape Air and I'm just looking for information. I attended your briefing two years when you guys came to visit. You look like a great place to work, I just can't move to LI for 45K.
Thanks,

Thats a lot of ?'s
We rarely hire direct entry PIC's in any of our aircraft. Someone with 4000TT/ 3000ME 300 hours in type (LR35 or Hawker), and previous 135 experiance may be considered as a direct entry PIC. Threre is not a need for this at the moment but I am gathering a pool in the event we get a few new managed aircraft in a short period of time.
Our upgrade has been averaging about 14 months. This may be less as we add more managed aircraft. Seniority plays a part in upgrade but is not over riding. A persons ability, attitude, and experiance is what we are looking at.
Health insurance. Typicall the company pays 50% and the employee pays 50%. Some aircraft owners pay 100% of the health insurance. It depends which account you are on. The entry level aircraft owners generally do not pick up the other 50%. This is done more in the Falcon's and GIV's.
We really have not gotten many Cape Air pilots come through. I have 1 in the pool right now that I hope to hire soon.
Hope this answers your questions..
