AOPA Online: Tecnam breaks the mold, offers regional twin, four-seater That's the plan anyway.

lower end of the payscale - low to mid 30's with a wide variation and multiple opportunities to pick up summer flying well above min. We do have a lot of 402 captains pulling in more then the ATR captains. As far as FL goes, I think our most junior year round pilot has a 1994 DOH. Wintertime flying does offer more opportunities for junior pilots to some extent.

Just out of curiosity, is the 402's right seat even a log-able seat? I'm assuming it's a single pilot aircraft so going there as an FO would be pointless, if anything just a place holder...that is unless you are headed for the ATR...

$27,300-$42,900. The low end is working 35 hours a week, which is the minimum guarantee, the high end is working 50 hours a week. All based on the Northeast bases. The Caribbean has overrides but it goes back and forth from junior to senior. Florida is the most senior base in the system. The RSW base has two top ten guys on the seniority list. Key West is a seasonal base that goes at least five years into the seniority list as far as I remember.

There is a new contract in the works and these numbers hopefully will go up.

Cape Air has some things to work out with work rules which I'm sure have been addressed in the new contract. It's a great place to work and I'd recommend it to anyone who actually wants to fly a plane instead of rotting away in the right seat of a regional jet monitoring systems.

Used to be. Current junior pilot is a 08/11 hire.

in a light twin ain't going to get you to a major. I'm sure this is why you're a current RJ FO.

Can the 08/11 hire hold key west year round?

Yes SIC can be logged; long story short FOs are required, however we are able to substitute them with the autopilot which is why it mostly is single pilot flying here. Great way to build time to ATP mins and get some solid experience.

Depends what you think will happen with the so called "shortage" that is approaching. If you think it's true then PIC in a 402 might be enough to get you to a major. If you believe that the shortage is just being hyped by flight schools to attract new students in a decade of steady decline then PIC in a jet might not get you to a major either as that job might not be there due to the outsourcing that jet is providing.
