Thanks for all the feedback, and help, Speedbird and others. Cape Air is truly a different airline, isn't it? That's what is so attractive to me. After spending a couple of decades in the bigs (as a flight attendant) it's refreshing to see a Company that it's employees actually care for. The commuting, and relocating, sound especially brutal for 9K versus other traditional airlines. You've helped me realize that I won't be doing the trip to Atlanta on August 28th for Fltops.com's hiring event. Thanks for the input, and enjoy the flying. Maybe someday.....

mini,
9K has a brand new base rights LOA. It is designed to allow you to move to an outstation and not be bumped out by a more senior pilot.
Once you hold a permanent position in a station you can only be displaced by a senior pilot who's own permanent position has been eliminated(ie a base reduction or closing).
That said, there is no guarantee that the line values in a base will remain consistent from one bid to the next. You could hold a 4/5, 35 hour(weekly) min line one bid and have a 51 hour 5/2 the next.
There are several people who have moved to the outstations and enjoy that kind of flying and lifestyle.

Not sure how much this helps, but I was added to the captain pool in early march and didnt get a call either, (atp mins with written done but no atp). Called krista about a week ago but never got a response. When I interviewed they said the pool was at 15 and they would be adding about 5 from our group that was interviewing.
