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.

Well, I had my interview last week and it went great. The last gouge was very accurate. It started with a group introduction to the company, pay, benefits, base assignments, bid system, etc... Then we were called in individually for the interview with a Captain and HR rep. Most questions were "tell me about a time when..." or "your in this situation, what would you do?" type questions. The only technical questions I was asked was how does a turbo-charger work and what are the memory items for an engine failure in a light twin.
That was pretty much it. They were a great group and the interview made me like the company even more.
They called two days later and offered me an FO class in september! Although, I ended up turning down the offer. My wife got a job the same week I interviewed and we decided it just wasn't the right time yet to move and jump in the airlines. Family first. They did leave the offer open though if anything changes so that was really nice of them.
Overall was a great experience and I would still love to fly with Cape in the future if the timing is right. Great company.

I've rode the jumpseat (I know there isn't an actual jumpseat, but I was a CASS rider) several times and have always had a great experience. I've considered working there in my current furloughed state, however my talks with recruiters have dissuaded me. Both time I have been told that I can plan on being assigned at least three domiciles in my first 18 months and they strongly advise against commuting. Can anyone speak to this? Is this correct that they fully expect you to move your family three times in 18 months? If so, this job really is just for 23 year old CFIs....

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.
