Someone who comes to Cape and fulfills the 1 year after ATP requirement will have a lot of great experience and stick skills. The 402 is a lot of fun, and you will definitely not be broke on captain pay.

Not to mention the time that you consume during training could be used for training someone that actually wants to stick around.

Also, Cape Air is stable. What's the status of any other regional airline over the next 10 years? What if in 5 years when I'm at a regional, it tanks, or there is some global event that hurts the industry again and I'm furloughed? If I honored my commitment at Cape, I'll be hired again. And sure, I can't read the future and promise Cape will be totally healthy, but there's little evidence of any trouble. And I'd hate to burn this bridge.

I hope that's not your real name. Aviation is a small world. The people you disrespect like that today, could be across the table interviewing you for that airline job tomorrow.

If you think anyone uses their real name on this board you have your own issues - and it sounds like you don't watch Seinfeld.
