There's not much else you can do to incetivise people to fly 402s. Either you want to do it or you don't. There is nothing they can give that's going to stop someone who wants to go to the regionals from leaving.

So why do the FO thing? If they want to go regional they will go, why pay someone to go from 500-1500TT when they will just leave anyway. Seems to me they should realize that all these starry eyed youngsters want to fly jets anyway, and crappy 402's are just a means to an end. Pay captains well and there will be enough weirdos with no real long term career aspirations to make service.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Cape Air just cannot find street captains to fly the 402. The ones they have managed to find usually end up doing pretty bad in training. The FO program is the only way they can try to have a continuous flow of captains to staff 80+ Cessna 402s and a handful of BN-2s, C208s, and ATRs. Without it, they would have to downsize severely. They already had to pull out of Providence and another city or two because they couldn't staff the flying. Heck most of the captains in the Midwest are TDY guys. On a positive note, looks like we drove the butthurt captains out of this thread. Just stay far away. You've been warned. |
Lol no worries zero desire to fly a 402 for Cape!

You've been warned. it's easier to get hired by a regional.. tell Cape they just lost a potential multi piston hugger.. (Call me stupid or whatever but I love old airplanes) |
Oh I forgot,
LIKE! |
You could potentially work at Cape Air and get 1000 PIC and go directly to a regional as a DEC in a modern jet.

Anybody know how many signed and how many left?
