Cape Air contacts?

Hi
Does anyone here currently fly for Cape Air on the 402's?
Just wondering about the current state of play and whether it's worth throwing a CV their way?
Just been made redundant in the UK and am looking for anything anywhere!
Cheers guys.

Heard through the ever-reliable aviation job grapevine that Cape Air was doing limited hiring into a pool, with the new folks going to the Essential Air Service contracts in the midwest (St. Louis). Mins were 1500 hours with something like 100 ME PIC, FAA ATP written complete, and U.S. citizen or right to work card holder. Hope that helps.

Oh, and CVs could be sent to pilotjobs@flycapeair.com or faxed to 508-778-6233.

Hi there,
Cape air is doing some hiring as posted earlier. Steve Phillips was Chief pilot last I checked. He still works there and is very approachable. Good company to work for. Several furloughed drivers calling Cape home right now. Also get travel and jumpseat benefits.
Alot of intense IFR up north year round, be prepeared, they used to make training tough. Might have changed though.

Welcome to 9K Pilot Recruitment!

Pilot recruiters contact info is on the link I pasted.

Good luck
DW.

Is that APC page right, 9 dollars an hour for a F/O? I'm sure they have lots of pilots maxing out their 401k contributions.

I would say that pay rate is correct. Bear in mind that 9K pilots get paid by the duty hour, not just flight hour. The other bad news is that I have been told that most lines in the Northeast are only 35 hour min.
Usually new hire FO's are hired closer to the 1200 hr mark so they can then be trained to fly 135 freight and get some PIC time. Company will then train you for your ATP ride.
