But if you look at it like they are paying you to build time and upgrade it's a pretty good deal. Plus you are home every night. I was offered another job which was closer to home so I didn't take it. However I was really impressed with the company and management, the CEO flies the line every summer. I think that they are worth looking into.
I know the F/O pay is duty hours. But I was just thinking it might be a good time builder that doesn't include stalls and slow flight. I'm originally from CT so it'd be nice to be back near home. One of my buddies did an internship with them and spoke very highly of them. Which is more than some people will speak of the regionals that would hire me at this time.

FYI-Jet Blue's Chief System Pilot has a turbo-prop background.
There also counting turbine rotor time now.

Cape Air-Good.......Nantucket Shuttle- BAD! Stay away young jedi.

Cape Air is a great company, the top 40-50% of the seniority list is made of guys with 10+ years in the company and they won't trade it for any regional.
And the pay compared by size/number of pax beats any RJ job.

I second that If you have ever flown in the same airspace Nantucket Shuttle you would understand... SCARY!!:eek:

I am a Captain for CapeAir now if you have any questions PM me, I am too lazy to monitor the thread.. :D

If it helps I actually like my job..

I'm not saying that I'm flying for Nantucket Shuttle, didn't take the job as a matter of fact. I know nothing about the operation other than their hiring. HYA is a two hour drive anyway, too far for me.

At what time of the year do they hire for the Carribean?

Anytime. Couple open lines down there right now. The majority of the Carib flying is obviously winter time, whilst the majority of summer flying is on the Cape.

the airplane is typed single pilot right? (the 402)... so per the regs, is there a requirement for two pilots? or is the guy in the right seat just out of luck as far as logging the time goes?

the company is also 121/135 right? when/whats the difference?

also, whats the upgrade time right now?

Some 135's can have it in their ops specs to have 2-pilots. Also for pax operations, if there isn't an approved/installed autopilot, 2 pilots are required. I'm guessing they have autopilot, it's just a formality. 99% of the public likes to see 2 pilots.
