Thanks
We just had captains recently get hired from spirit, jetblue, and alligiant. FOs are leaving too. When Guam is fully staffed I want to say that it probably has the best QOL in all the regionals. But right now its a total **** show and management pilots have to come down once and a while to come help out.
Right now management told us they are working to get an agreement with United to get some kind of flow and specifically for Guam ATR pilots. We do have a good relationship with United so we'll see how that pans out.

Cape Air is desperate for pilots. FOs are the only way they can recruit. You will probably get hired after you get your commercial multi add-on. I'm serious.
I think you misunderstood me when I said FOs are leaving. In order to be an FO out in Guam, you need an ATPL. You can either be a captain in the 402s or FO in Guam. They are both one year commitments.

Coming up on their mins here in the next few months and had a question about basing. I'm in the AF Reserves and am generally locked into one region of the country (OH/KY.) I saw they had OWB listed as a crew base. That would be perfect for me since I have family there. Anyone know how senior that is? Also, I know their posted mins are 500 hours, but is that a hard min, or not? I'm nearing 400 TT. Should I go ahead and apply and at least get my name in the pile or wait til I'm closer?

Are there EAS routes in the northeast? If I get based out in the midwest are those bases commutable? I could not make the move with my family out there on a FO salary but it would be do-able if I were to stay in New England.
Ah, I do understand now that the FO's in Guam are for the 121 operation. Do you know the details about the 402 FO contract?
Thank you!
