Did you pick up and island air guys?

I'm not there anymore so I'm not sure. But considering Cape Air's staffing problems, if a former Island Air pilot wanted a job there, I'm guessing it wouldn't be too hard.

Anyone know of a good, rather inexpensive place to live in Billings or a roommate situation?

I know someone looking. If so, PM me and I will pass the word.

Unlikely, new hire street captains will likely go to Billings, so I wouldn't think many Island guys have much interest in that

Current seniority list has 272 pilots. 118 are bidding 402 Captains. The rest are FO's, are on the ATR or Islander, or on LOAs

Whatever happened to those turboprops CA was going to get?

Is the D.O. still the retired AA guy?

Cape Air does have turboprops. ATR's flying for United Express in Guam. Also just started a Caravan seaplane operation in Florida. But the vast majority of the flying is the 402.

If only the majority of the fleet was turboprop, that would really help retain pilots.

I think he was talking about the Cessna 406 rumor that was floating around.
