Well what do you know, I learned something new today! Hadn't thought about the weight being a factor. Thanks.

ehh... close... FAR119.3 defines a commuter operation as airplanes other than turbojet powered, pax capacity of 9 seats or less and max payload of 7500 lbs. FAR135.1 "this part prescribes rules governing -- The commuter or on-demand operations..."

Cape Air's 135 certificate approves scheduled commuter ops and on-demand charter ops.

What is the pay for the CA's? What are the chances of staying in San Juan? I heard years ago that you do summers in a base and move to another base in the winter, this still true? Might be losing the ole captain seat on the regional side and looking to do something a little different.


Thanks

jetBlue does have a bridge program established with ERAU and Cape Air, It is well documented and has even been featured in several aviation magazines. I have not seen any statistics of how many have made the jump from one to the other.

Some schedules are easy and some are long days it depends on how senior you are and the season and region.
Winter: long days in the Caribbean and Florida and easy days at the Cape Summer: the other way around.
QOL is pretty good and gets better with seniority.
Overall is a great company to work for.

I would really like to fly for Cap Air. My wife grow up on the Cape (Falmouth), and we would both like to live there someday.

Is it hard getting SIC Job? What can I do to make my self more desirable to Cape Air? As a pilot, dose your family (Wife, Parents, & dependent children) get flight privileges on any other airlines?

I presently have 411.5 HRS TT, 18 HRS M.E., 294.3 Cross-country, 56.3 Night, 43.5 Instrument (36.2 Hood, and 7.3 actual), and have my Commercial Multi-engine Instrument Rating.
