You earned it, but theres a contingent of riddle rats at cape who feel theyre entitled to direct entry. Im not saying they cant do it- just that they could be a little more humble and realize how lucky they are. Many qualified regional fo s with 121 jet time who are gonna be junior to a guy whos 2 years out of college with only 402 experience. I wonder how the jb captains feel about this btw

I flew 402s on "The Rock" for two summers, (not Cape Air) and that was just enough for me.
