Just curious, what is being an FO like at cape? Would I upgrade at or just after Captain Minimums? I have 1100 hours, 550 xc (50nm), 97 night, 900PIC, 37 Multi, 105 actual instrument, 50 simulated instrument. CFII/MEI
I am looking at cape air since I need to log more multi time (currently flying singles) and then maybe after a year move to a regional like Compass or SKywest. But I dont want to be an FO for more than legally required, or should I just apply once I meet Captain mins? Also, how long are new hires based in Hyannis/Boston area? Im not a big fan of small towns but willing to take my chances not getting based in Boston or similar.

Great place to work though, have fun while you're there. You will miss it when you leave.

Yes it did, for the first year at least. However, that job helped me get my current job, which pays more than I'd ever make at 9K. If I could make the same money flying the 402 though, man, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
