Although I’d have to ask around to be sure.
I may be wrong. Please let me know if you hear otherwise but I’m guessing they were either Mil, management, or previous 121.

The flow from Cape to Jetblue is only if you were in the program as a student at an accredited aviation school. I got my bachelors degree from Riddle but since I didn't do my flying there or instruct there the flow doesn't apply to me. They do have a flow thats available for everyone. Two years (I believe) at cape as a captain and then you need 2 more years at another 121 carrier (regional I would assume only 121 that would hire). Maybe one could try to go outside the flow and apply to jetblue after 2 years as a CA with cape?

I stand corrected. I’m still firmly on the side of 121 ME piston PIC is going to be more valuable than 91K SE turboprop PIC but I definitely thought they had some kind of more open arrangement with Cape.

Cape Air isn’t a 121.

Hey guys! Is there any of you that have done the sim eval with PlaneSense that can give me a really good gouge? It be great if you could share with me what to expect. I have heard there is a SID to an approach to the missed to a hold. If you know the SID & approach that I can expect so I can study & practice them that would be awesome! Thanks!

The airports and approaches vary but it is normally a non-Precision approach with step downs. I interviewed this past summer and did an ODP followed by a localizer to a miss then a hold. The approach isn’t a timed approach as it has a defined MAP but you have to be familiar with Jepp charts.

Sorry, “scheduled commuter ME 135”. Counts as 121 time for FAA purposes. You could hop over and DEC at a regional, something Pilatus captains can’t do.
