Not to knock Cape Air, but if you could get hired directly at a regional, I think that'd be the way to go. If not, then go to CA.
As an example, I tried to get hired at CHQ in the 2003 timeframe and they wouldn't look at me with 1600/100. I went to AirNet to build multi time. It was great experience and about a year and a half later I got hired at CHQ. There were a few Lear captains that would get hired by the majors from AirNet, but by and far, most guys didn't. It made sense to leave there and go to the regionals to build 121 time (if majors are your goal).
While the experience gained at AirNet was great, I'd gladly have gone to CHQ right away.
