www.flycapeair.com says 1000 TT, however I

SIC Hawker pilot. 60k a year, plus overtime.
I picked up the line this guy just vacated, (a rotation of 2 weeks of 4/3 in STX, a week off, 2 weeks of 5/2 in HYA) He had been a 402 Captain for about a year and a half. He got a call from his climbto350 resume.
Flexjet, Netjet, et al, are also popular places people move on to. Or there are lots of 9k lifers. If you live on Cape Cod, want to be home every night, its not a bad gig at all. New hire Captains now make $15/ duty hour, with 1.5 overtime after 8 in a day, or 40 a week. Carib based pilots get a $3/ hour override. On my line, 9k will furnish me with a condo and a car while I'm in STX.

Its a year round gig, so long as the state EAS money holds out.
