Cape Air
So what do you guys/gals think of or know about their operation? I always see them advertising on Climb350 anyone have the inside scoop?

I think robthree should be along to give you the inside scoop at some point. He's the only one I know on this board who works there at the moment. Give me a few weeks and I'll be able to help too. :)

Aileron,
Most of the information here http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/pa...-cape-air.html and here http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/pa...-cape-air.html is still current and accurate. Happy to answer any specific Q's you have. - Rob. |
Hey Rob,
Thanks for the insight. I''ve sent my resume over for review and still awaiting a call... Just curious if Cape is still hiring Capts/FO's? I exceed 135 IFR mins and have plenty of turbine/single pilot ops. The one thing I'm lacking is ATP. I chucked in my stuff about a month ago and still no nibbles. Any rumors on growth or hiring? |
They are hiring. They had an open house last weekend. It was mainly for potential Captains, but I asked Gene if everyone was welcome (I'd be trying for an FO position), and he said absolutely. I wasn't sure what to expect, but when I checked in, I was asked if I would be interviewing today... I told him I hadn't planned on it, but I sure can. I went and got some things out of my car, used the computers in the lobby to print out a Letter of Recommendation (they wanted one, but since I hadn't planned on interviewing, all I had was a few copies of my Resume and Cover Letter).
It was more like an interview than an open house. They had a room setup with different pamphlets about the company and some knick-knacks (pens, stuffed airplanes, t-shirts, etc.), but it wound up being the attendees waiting in a room shooting the breeze while waiting to be called for an interview. Anyway, Ed Braz told me that I'd know by today about their decision, but I haven't heard anything yet. They are still hiring, though. I overheard some people talking about them adding new routes, so it sounds like they're continuing to grow. Robthree could probably confirm that. |
Yeah I'm not in the position to attend the open house. I work and live in Hawaii so jumpseating to the east coast and making it back for my shift becomes a little risky. If I had an actual interview set up than I would use some vaca for a little buffer time.

Anybody know if their mins are strict @ 1000 for FO'S? I'm just over 800/75 now
|
Yes, they are pretty strict. I originally got denied because I only had 950TT. I knew someone on the inside who got me the hookup.
|
I know I read on here captains make $15 a duty hour...whats a typical work week going to look like? also, how hard is it to pull the Indiana routes?
