Just Hired
Got my offer letter yesterday. It took about a week from interview to receive it. They are not sure when the class date is. The letter says Fall 2018, I was told 1st or 2nd week of October. No summer classes in the summer because all planes and instructors are flying. After a few offers from others, decided Cape Air was it for me. Look forward to hearing from anyone else hired for the same class.
Was hired on as FO with 1002TT and 40 Multi.

Likewise many 135 freight operators shut down training/hiring for the same period....it's a way to get all planes and employees flying the line making $$$ when the "peak" hits. Training during this period takes multiple instructors and planes, not the mention check airman off flying the line.
Was actually amazed to get a December class date at one company....but in that case it was due to the fact that the training staff there operated somewhat separately from the line, and simulator time was more of a factor.

I will be in the fall class as well. Looks like there will be about 15-20 pilots in the class so it will be good for group study opportunities.

15-20 pilots seems like a lot for the fall class. Are they expecting people to drop before then, or not make it through training? Anyway, congrats Pat and Luke. Looked forward to meeting you. Cares on where you get based?
