Outside of living in one of their outstation bases, why the hell would you go to Cape when EVERYONE requires 1500hrs now?
C-402 or shiny jet?
I worked at Cape for a year, three years ago. This place is completely and utterly clueless. They are so short pilots is ridiculous. I think they are hiring so many FOs because that's all they can get. Hire them all and hope most stay around once they can upgrade.
Also the stigma with the lifers is true. It was sad how many would look at you like you were an idiot to leave for a regional
Finally, I call serious BS on the cat claiming 70k+ at Cape. Even with incentive pay, no way.
