It pretty much says stay away. A sign of desperation. Usually companies try to attract and retain pilots with incentives. Cape Air believes in threats.

For a presently working Cape Air pilot, PLEASE:
1. Where are the junior bases?
2. Is the $30,000 one-year commitment presently being required of new hires?
3. How often does the company displace Captains to another base?
4. How long are your normal duty days?
Thanks!

2. Yes...stay away.
3. Not often. Bid every 6 months unless a vacancy bid comes out which is pretty much monthly. People are pretty good not bumping you out of a base. I've only heard of it happening a handful of times. A lot of junior guys are TDY all over the place also.
4. Duty days are typically 13 hours. By the end of the week, you are exhausted and fatigued to say the least. Especially when its -20 or +90 outside.

You'll always get at least 3 days off per week. Most of the Eas lines are 3 1/2 on 3 1/2 off. The senior lines in Hyannis have a couple 3 on 4 off. And a few lines are 4 on 4 off. 90% of FO lines are 4 on 4 off rotating, some of the bases in some regions have 4 on 3 off.

I worked there for about 10 months. Left a few months ago. And teddy is correct with the days off.
