Hey guys,

I want to go to the regionals and I'm seeking some advice. Here is my situation.

I have 510 TT / 45 multi. Currently have an offer for an FO job at Cape Air with a probable September class date. For those unaware of the recent changes to the contract at Cape, they now require FO's to sign a 30k contract committing us to serving one year as a Captain, with no indication of when an upgrade will occur, though they claim it will happen at 1500.

I anticipate that will keep me at Cape for 2 years. 1 year to become CA and 1 year as a CA. I am skeptical of the hiring climate in the regional industry around 2018-2019 when I will be set free from Cape, provided I choose to go there.

I would like to fly for Cape because Caribbean flying would be fun and they have CASS benefits. Should I just stick it out the two years there and go to the regionals afterwards? Or take another job that will allow me to jump ship as soon as I have my 1500?

I don't know what to do. Thanks!
