Yeah, I never go north of BOS so I didn't even think about it. The point being was that the codeshares were a limited and focused joint endevour with CO and B6 respectively and not the be all and end all of Cape Air. Unlike most regional carriers who though much larger than Cape are still strictly lift subcontractors for "real" airlines, Cape has its own organic reservations and marketing arms. Going it alone (ala Independence Air or ExpressJet) isn't a risky experiment for Cape, but the regular, proven model. Codeshares are the gravy at Cape, not the meat and potatos.

(Mostly) single-pilot, and as others have said, we're scheduled 135 on all of our routes. We're the "commuter" in "Commuter and On Demand Operations" that's the header of Part 135. There aren't too many scheduled 135 companies left, but there are a few left after the FAA forced the turbine regionals to swap to 121 in the 1990s.
Hey robthree, add RUT to the B6 codeshare, too. Not that it matters.

Gotcha. One of our guys just went back there after being on leave. He was told that you guys were pretty much guaranteed that flying. Wonder how that's going to affect your staffing. He was just given a captain class because of it.

Yeah not sure whats going to happen, They were definatly gearing up and the rumor was that all furloughs would be recalled if it went through, but they are looking at some other EAS flying also, time will tell I guess. I Probably know who you are refering to. We had a few COLA's return last month.
