Not to sure about the grey-gulls program. My advice would be if coming to Cape Air be ready to work. The duty days here are long and in old and tired equipment. Management and pilot relations seems okay but continues to have certain flare ups.
Junior FO bases seem to be Manistee, Kirksville, Quincy and occasionally Billings. Commuting at Cape is basically impossible. Most stations are EAS and the only service there is Cape. If you can't drive as a commute Cape will be a hard place to be. I'd advise sticking with instructing until you can find a more suitable option closer to home.
Again; there is money to be made here, healthcare is good but to enjoy here you need to live in base, actually like to fly and understand this a stepping-stone to build time and move-on

Not sure what the junior bases are currently but probably the Midwest and maybe BIL. Commuting here can be managed but I wouldn’t recommend it. You’re back in base every night except BIL. Also, if you’re above 800TT, look elsewhere. Management here is terrible and they dont care about you.

Good luck if you're not been refered internally. Do not ask about comutting. Play along their game that you will be a happy camper living in the outstation.
Tell me a time that you exercised PIC authority. Also a possible time you were scared.
