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.

SWEET!!! I have over 2000hrs turbine PIC and an ERAU Alum, Where do I sign up????
All kidding aside, I'd love to work for Cape and have sent my stuff over going on 6x now. To all of you in the next class or pool, CONGRATS!!!

Here's to hoping people decide to stay in the Carib
