Freddy knew what he was doing when he ask Cessna to build the Caravan for FredEx! in the 1980's.

I'm not too sure you can fly pax IFR FAR 135 in a single turbine.

Actually..... This is a great place for people to go who want to fly 121. Just ask the people who are now sitting at JetBlue.

Not over water farther than your power-off glide distance.

Just saw a post on WFFF for hiring at Cape...

With around 1300 TT/950 Multi is there a decent shot to get hired for either CPT or FO? I've had my app in for a while, but I hadn't updated it until just the other day. As a new hire (either position), what are the chances of getting a BHB or AUG base? Thanks!

Probably a good idea... Just curious though if they are still having people who are close to ATP do the mail runs 135 unscheduled?

1200tt gets the pic qual and the mail. The mail is no picnic. Loading the 402 3 or 4 times a day is like real work.

- I nevr did it but I know a few guys who did. Hope u get a few more opinions and good luck.

You can. One of Cape Air's competitors in Hyannis flys the Caravan to ACK.
