Any feedback yet on the Spirit partnership with Cape? It seems a bit too good to be true that after hitting 3000 TT (including sufficient time as PIC in Cape metal) you’re in as a FO at Spirit.
What’s the catch? What am I missing?
The big risk, as I see it, is that you build up PIC time to 3,000 TT in a non-turbine plane and can’t make the Spirit transition. Then you will have difficulties with doing anything but moving to another regional...

Cape air in the Carib

I’m retiring from AA soon and would like to plop my butt in the Caribbean for the winters and I hear cape has a base there. Any thoughts on getting a job there and being perm based in the Carib during the winter season
Thx

According to this article they already have one and that they have another 7 to be delivered this year based on other things that I've read(the wikipedia and links on the new tecnam).

Thanks for the reply. That would come fairly early on though, right? In other words, I will know well before flying up to 3,000 TT whether I will get those letters, correct?

I don't know, I don't work at cape air. It's just what the recruiter told me along with other what seemed to me reasonable requirements. I wouldn't want to spend two years somewhere where you're bosses are holding something you need to advance over your head to keep you in line. That's the one thing that I was like "thanks but no thanks".

Training prep
Hello all. A question for current Cape Air pilots and those currently going through the training program: I will be joining the June training class. Any tips on what I can do over the next few weeks to be best prepared for training? There is a Redbird sim with a Seminole on it that is located not too far away from where I live. What kind of drills can I do in the sim to prepare for the Cape Air simulator and flight training, and ATP checkride? Any and all thoughts are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Just be very instrument proficient, that’s the biggest hurdle.
