where does cape air come into this?

I believe JetBlue is working with some flight schools (Riddle and UND and maybe others) to develop JB pilots of the future and they are including time at Cape Air in the 402s as part of the package. I guess those pilots who go through that program and get the necessary hours will have preferential interviews. That's the crux of it - not certain about the details...
