Any inside info on Cape Air???
 
Just curious, it sounds like fun, I know you won't get rich there, and I have over 10,000 jet hours in the Boeing products so I could careless about that. Just like flying to cool places with cool people, maybe get lucky and get domiciled in the Caribbean. Thanks, L :)

I'm not even going to comment on your 10,000 Boeing hours.......... :confused:

mostly good people, contract and work rules are better then any regional that I know of. Flying the 402 is fun. Hand flying raw data six pack approaches while running QRH etc have tripped up guys coming from heavy jet backgrounds occasionally, but I think most do fine.

I left couple of months ago but new hires generally were going to out station carrib bases (think nevis, anguila etc, not st thomas or san juan) or getting the montana region (possibly because the region had just opened)

Don't expect that commuting will be easy, in a lot of the outstation bases cape is the only air service. With no jumpseat it can make it hard to get in position for day 1.

They were hiring anyone with an ATP and the ability to sign their name when I left, doubt this has changed in 3 months.

There is at least one good cape thread going in the 135 section with more info.

I don't think running a QRH while shooting an approach is a good idea

We are short on pilots. Right now people are going to the northeast. If you get hired now, they will be transitioning to the carribean by the time you complete training. Any specific questions?

maybe that's why it screws up the airline types that like to get the QRH done BEFORE the approach ;)

Emergency Situations for Dummy's book. Tells you how to not die when things go bad.

Well that helped then..............Maybe 'quick reference handbook' would have been a better answer. Google really is better than asking if you don't know what something means.

Ps. NOT everybody has done airline training and knows every acronym........!!!
