FOs also got an email from the COO begging them not to leave. Basically saying that while there's a lot of jet jobs out there, you can get to Jetblue from here.
If they want to make good on that, why not hire all of the guys and gals who have been here for two, three, four years and easily have 3000TT?
And if it's only for the Gateway folks, then what is the point of staying at Cape Air for the other 100 or so pilots that aren't "Cape Air for life?" Since you can't get to a Major without turbine time (or a ton of luck) why not just go to Cape, get enough time to meet the mins at any regional, then pick and choose?
IMHO, Cape Air/Jetblue need to make good on their "partnership" or we are going to be real short staffed, REAL quick.
