Hello all,

I've recently been in contact with a cape air recruiter. She said to expect a phone call next week. I applied a week ago after her recommendation. I've been looking over this thread and still have some questions, since some haven't been asked and things may have changed over time.

I'm currently at 925 TT, with 113 ME. I live about 60 miles north of NYC. If I were hired at 9K, what sort of flying would I be doing? I've read a lot on how many flights are single pilot, so what flights do FOs get? Since I don't live near a base that I would be likely to get, I suppose it doesn't matter where I am sent. But what does the work schedule look like? My idea is that on my off days I can commute back to my house here in NY. But I'm not sure a 5 on 2 off schedule would work with that plan. Also, what's the commitment time period? I read how it might not be best to just get to 1500 and then leave. My goal is to get to a regional airline where I can commute (although I understand it isn't easy even then). But my family is very important to me. Thanks for the help in advance!
