That pic/avatar looks so familiar Chip.

I put my app in this morning, hope to hear something. I think it would be a great move for me.

I wouldn't stick around if I didn't enjoy working here. There will always be negatives associated with any airline; however at Cape there are certainly more positives

Good chance I'd still be there if they paid more, but that's just the nature of the beast in a 9-seat piston aircraft. If Atlas ever gives me the boot, I'd seriously look at going back.

And trust me, my perspective comes from working at a real bottomfeeder from 2010-2013 after I left. Cape does it right.

Cape seems like a good place to go for someone not interested in a 121 career and trying to break into the the 135 charter/corporate world. Solid 135 PIC experience and I'm guessing the schedules are slightly better than night freight.

Was Cape Air one of them? What makes one regional more bottom rung than another one? I would say most regionals are all the same.
