How soon usually is an ATP rated pilot flying left seat?
Training contract was 6 months if you come with your ATP. You will start in the left seat.

Default Cape Air scumbag alert!

Watch out!! Beware!! New hire class starting today they were told no training contract but on day one they are making everyone sign a $30k training contract without any advance notice. They literally waited for everyone to show up to class and then sprung it on them last minute. This is the lowest of the low. People there likely turned down other jobs to go to cape air and burned those bridges. This is on par with those companies hat make you pay for your training. If they would have been honest with these young pilots up front then that would be different but this is the lowest of the low. Cape Air I thought you were a quality company but a stunt like this is messing with people's lives. You should be ashamed. Pathetic.

Can't say I'm surprised. The way people have been bailing on them a few months after training, I don't blame them. I do think they should notify people of the contract early in the hiring process though.

That is exactly the point. There are people that depend on their honesty now have the choice to sign a training contract with no advance notice and no time to have a lawyer review it and for more money than they make in a year OR be back on the street.

Default It gets worse...

Ok so it's not just 1 year 30k it's for everyone regardless of time the year doesn't start until after upgrade and there is no promise in the contract as to when that will be. Not pro rated.

And the checkered flag for the race to the bottom goes to cape air.

OK, how about ATP rated applicants?
I guess it's still 6 months and a different amount?

Does this $30k apply to only new hires? How about an existing FO that already signed an older agreement when hired?

No it does not. I left about a month ago and there are a few others about to leave. Unless they give you an ultimatum: sign here or leave, you'll be okay.
