I'm assuming yes?
I would say no. 135.243(a) states that the Pilot in Command of a multi-engine aircraft engaged in a Passenger Carrying commuter operation (as defined under Part 119) must hold an ATP with appropriate category, class and type.
Cape Air falls under the Part 119 Commuter definition and therefore, with passengers on board, you would have to hold an ATP to log it as PIC. Thats where the 1500 TT Captain requirement for the passenger operations comes from.
