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!

Yes there are several of EAS routes in the Northeast. They have EAS routes in Maine, NY, Boston, Vermont, and NH.

I don't know the fine details of the FO contract but after your ATPL you do one year commitment in the 402 as Captain or FO in Guam (if it's open).

Yes the contract is still on the table. Cape air doesn't really need FOs in their 402 operation, but they slap them on EAS routes so it doesn't matter if they FO fills in a seat since Cape Air is profiting regardless if they have a 0% load factor.

However, here's the dichotomy. They need FOs to become Captains. The only pilots that are going to Cape Air with an ATPL is forced retired pilots. A lot of captains that are currently flying were FOs flying on the right seat.

Cape air was tired of seeing FOs leave after they hit 1500 hrs and go off fly shiny jets at the regionals. Flying the 402s in the right seat will make you a better pilot than being a flight instructor. If you don't want to be a captain in the 402, hop over to Guam and be an FO in the ATR.

Hello,

I’ll be having my skype interview on the 6th. Hoping anybody can share their skype interview experience? Sample questions, what they go over, etc. Anything would be a big help.

Thank you,

Any updated info on junior bases? Could one expect to get BOS out of training and hold it?

Just applied to Cape, 580TT 16Multi. What are the chances of me getting BOS or any other southern New England base as an FO? If I do get BOS what are the routes? Also, how does the overtime/schedules work for FO's?

Thank you!
