Thank you everyone for the constructive comments. I appreciate all of your insight and will take the recommendations to heart. Cape Air seems like a diamond in the rough and will definitely make me a better pilot before joining the ranks at the regionals.

It’s not right, but that’s how our gov’t basically killed the 135 path for anyone aspiring to fly 121. I waited for my 1000 121 and I can honestly say I learned what I needed after 300 SIC and spent the remaining 1000 throwing gear for folks who no clue what they were doing. Someone who has 135 experience at a reputable operator has much more to offer than someone who’s only flown 121, but that’s just my opinion. It’s the dirtbag 134.5 outfits that give 135 a bad name to those who don’t know.

IMHO, I think t-props are a great platform to really learn on. Weight, complexity, operating environment, etc. Some solid experience there!
So basically in a way I agree, just refined it a bit
