The mail is kind of hit or miss. Some days it can be very easy with light loads and some days it can be a lot of work (sometimes requiring extra runs to get all the morning mail to ACK). Around the holidays and summer is when the loads are at their peak. I've never held a mail line but I was checked out to fill in on it last year when I was a PIC and I've filled in on it a few times in the last month. I like doing it but I wouldn't want it as my fulltime line. I know right now they are having some of us SVT (backup/reserve) captains fill in because there is only one PIC doing it right now, normally being two or three mail pilots.

The opinion I addressed was the one when you said if you want to end up at a legacy, don't go to Cape Air, and I explained why you were incorrect. Also, seniority isn't everything. A number at a regional that goes out of business right after you get on the line is pretty worthless. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Of course, getting the regional job can be beneficial, but it isn't the only game in town.

No you don't. Of course you are welcome to share your opinion, but it is remarkable misinformed. Have you heard of the jetBlue gateway program that Cape Air has? We have been sending a steady stream of pilots over there, none of whom have had any turbine time. Gasp!

Why is anybody still talking to Spicoli? The dude is an obvious troll who claims to be an "ex-rampie" and student pilot. He's just spewing nonsense trying to get people riled up.

BTW I'm an ex-Cape Air who had a lot of fun there, then went straight to a major. So, it can be done. Life is to short to take a job you know you are going to hate.

Jet blue is a legacy carrier? If your goal is to go to Jet Blue then Cape can be your number one choice. If your goal is a LEGACY carrier then twin piston will not cut it.

The Gateway program is only for Riddle and UND grads, correct?

I believe it's for some other schools too, but they must be ABBI accreditted schools. It's not a true flow through program.

Yup and do you guys know that trolls can be put on yur ignore list. Fyi

Not sure how pointing out that twin piston time doesn't buy you much when applying to a legacy carrier translates to trolling.

I think they were referring to almost every other post you've made. You've been trolling for months and i'm not even sure how you're still allowed on here. :confused:
