Dear Brian,
If you take the Cape Air gig, but privately plan on jumping ship the moment you get the call from ASA, please do us all a favor and stay away. Wanting to advance in your career is a fine goal, and we don't hold it against any pilots when they leave—provided they have kept their word. As you note, Cape Air has a 6 month training agreement. It really takes us at least until September to recoup the investment we make in training you (5-6 weeks, including ground school, sim & flight training, checkride, IOE, hotel and pay roll). It would be a real kick in the jimmies if ASA called and you ended up quitting Cape Air in the middle of our busy summer season. If you accept the position at Cape Air, all we ask is that you work hard, do your best and keep your word. If you do that, then the door to a great company will remain open if you decide to move on.
If what I have laid out seems like too much of a hardship, then Cape Air is probably not a good fit for you.
Love,
Your friends at Cape Air
