Doubtful. Was at Cape Air until recently, and never heard of anyone making that leap...yet. I suggest you try your question in the active or alumni Facebook groups. If it has ever happened, someone in one of those groups will know.

We had a kid from Cape Air on our jumpseat recently, out of Logan. He has his 2500 hours and is just waiting for his 23rd birthday to send in his SWA app. He “knows somebody” and seemed extremely confident. Except when he lost his phone on the plane and never bothered to look near the actual jumpseat where he was sitting.
However, he had no issues blowing off some constructive criticism from the CA on proper jumpseat procedures because “other captains let him do it”. He was a really shiny penny.
Needless to say, that jumpseat card did not end up in the trash bag.

Agree completely. I was thinking more in terms of his self image. "Extreme confidence" doesn't score interviews.

Unfortunately I fly with a lot of young 20-somethings at my shop who act exactly like this. They just see me as some 40-year-old burnout who never made it, but they'll be out of there and at a legacy by 26.....

I would love to sit in the jump seat and get some criticism. Spirit also had what could almost be called a flow. I thought about trying to go there and get some turbine time while applying at SWA. With the new contract, there are worse places to get stuck.
