Cape Air Washout Rate......High

[rway36]

Just wondering why the washout rate has been so high the last few classes to go through at Cape Air. Is it the training departments normal way there or the quality of the new hires.

PM if you wish

Sounds like not such a bad gig

Did you hear the one about the chicken farmer that thought he was a super hero because he had a cape on?

Probably because there is no 'Cape Air Academy'!!

$100K for 200 hours of PIC in a 402!!!! Wow!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I would guess that kind of flying is very demanding. They are making you a PIC with people on board after that training with no FO to help you with radios or checklists. All hand flying. They are not just trying to get a body in the seat like at regionals or other places. People at the regionals know that people are sitting in RJs that should not have really made it through the training. They just made it far enough where the training department figured they would pick up the rest online. At cape air, they really can't just hope the pilot picks up the rest on the line.

Because 1200hr pilots are not the s-hot aces some of us think we are. Saying 'right rudder' and being pic of a 402 in real weather and real conditions are two totally different things.

Good to see you came out of your hole. We have not heard from you for awhile.

Would love to here from some Cape Air people

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they do have an autopilot.

I was thinking of giving them a shot after ASA goes away, but I think I'll skip that if it really is all hand flying. After almost 4 years in a RJ, I'm just not that good.
