Rumour central has a couple of the LEB-BOS segments getting swapped for the LEB-HPNs. And the schedule allegedly is Early AM to HPN, sit All Day Long, Late return to LEB. If so, they'll likely need a couple more lines to make it work.
In other gossip, expect ACK and expanded MVY lines this summer, with fewer HYA lines. Maybe with company subsidized housing.

Seems like if we kept a HPN-ACK schedule going we could just have those LEB-HPN pilots through-stop to ACK instead of sit all day. But hey, I just work here.

Edit... March 15th...
Classes depend on the number of pilots who don't return from the Carib this winter. There are always some. How many is anyone's guess. I was told there is a pool with a dozen plus swimmers and 'they' are looking to get another ten to a dozen poolies.

When you say it depends on how many don't come back from the Carib, does that some quit and stay down there or some just fly during the winter and are off during the summer? Just wondering if a new hire class associated with that would only be a temporary thing, i.e. furloughed in the winter once the Carib flying picks up again...

I mean some number of pilots will quit or become part time/on call (only allowed if they have 1 year service). (Summer) New hires would be full time employees with prioroty over part timers who would not be able to return (in winter) to full time status unless there were additional vacancies.

Having worked at ACK at the FBO side last summer I seem to remember only one flight a day going to HPN. The competition on the ACK-HPN line is pretty good. There is tradewinds aviation in the caravans and PC-12's and a couple 135's who sell by the seat to HPN. Also I hope they don't get rid of some of the HYA flights as it was a great way to get off island for a few hours. Maybe go see a movie or something fun like that. Anyways does anyone know if Cape Air is still doing that intern program with riddle? I got to Purdue and would love to try and break into it but they are pretty dead set on Riddle....Shame.
