As for Cape Air, once the economy starts growing and fuloughed pilots start getting recalled, Cape Air might not receive too many applications from experienced pilots-they might want to employ a second pilot for insurance (new Ops Specs?) reasons, whether they choose to pay her/him or not?
My brother flew Twin Commanders a few years ago for a good company at Kansas City's Downtown Airport, and a number of younger European pilots paid the owners, in order to help fly the all-night (cancelled check) routes as copilot and log the multi-engine cross-country time.
