Apparently not. How many hours of flying and sim are done in those 4-6 weeks? I fly a C414 on a Part 135 certificate and in a week we did all the FAA stuff, Ops specs, haz mat, etc... and flew 15hrs. Just wondering what else could be happening. Do you spend a week with the maintenance department learning the aircraft? Or does that 4-6 weeks include LOFT?

There's not exactly an abundance of aircraft sitting around for training. Might be about a weeks worth of training, but it's spread out due to aircraft availability. Plan to spend some down time at the Holiday Inn! It's a fantastic company to work for though! I will miss it when I leave...

I've been trying to read about this company. What are the odds of getting an ATR FO position for a guy with an ATP but no turbine time?

That, my friend, is why Cape Air is still around after 24 years and just about every other fly-by-night 135 outfit has gone under. You have to actually give a "hoot" about safety. You'd be astounded at the washout rate from that 4-6 weeks of training. I'm sure those washouts got jobs flying 135 elsewhere with 5-6 days of training and a hearty "good luck out there!"
