JB and Cape Air???

[GuppyPuppy]

I just read an article in yesterday's Boston paper that said Cape Air and JB are looking at some kind of marketing agreement where CA would feed JB in BOS.

WTF, over?

Or...was this just DN thinking outloud again?

You got a refrence for the article or was it wishful thinking by CA. But... if you think about it, CA connects to ACK, the Vineyard and in the winter, EYW from RSW. Hmmmm...

Are they going to put TVs behing every seat in the Cessnas?

 

[Otto Coarsen]

Two smart management teams......... Two very customer service oriented organizations....... Cape flys 500K people a year in those cessnas... Smart move by JB if you ask me...

One thing for sure, at Cape (like JB) us pilots know how to (and don't mind to) clean the planes between flights.

 

[Capn Sac]

The paint jobs already match. Now we need some cool names on our a/c to match JB. Do you think they will let me put Capn Sac on the crew door??? Hopefully an agreement will keep us in terminal C to keep the CO folks happy.

C YA,
Sack

 

[i'mbatman]

can you say.........FLOWTHROUGH!

 

[Care269]

Hey Sac! How was your winter? Did you get down south?

 

[Chronic Jetlag]

that didn't take long

can you say.........FLOWTHROUGH!

Wow, does this mean I can FLOWBACK to cape air when I get furloughed...Yeahhh! I want my seniority number at CA and a guaranteed left seat job. Won't take much time to clean a Cessna.

I'm all for helping out Joe and Brian Hackett, the old lady behind their counter, the cab driver, Aeromass's owner, the gorgeous chick behind the lunch counter who also plays a mean chello (Helen), the mechanic (Lowel was much better than that new guy)... Here's to helping out Sandpiper Air!!!

 

[Capn Sac]

Care 269,
All is well. I get to Fl and the Carib usually once a month to do some checkrides, and maybe help out and fly the line. Not much TDY this winter all the Fl and Carib lines are full. A few open spots in Hya, but thats good for OT.

C YA,
Sack

Its funny what you can find on accident on FI sometimes. Here we are a year later, Bushy is at the helm at Cape Air and the rumors are still alive and well. I think this one might have some legs. Who knows, maybe they will have a flow through? Crazier things have happened.

I would not be suprises to see cape air doing some code share flying to the vinyard and other airport that they serve that would not work well for the 320 or 190. IMO it would be a good thing. From what I have seen and heard in BOS, people really like cape air and they provide a good product.

Was your paper about a year old? This is not new news.

Way2Broke:
One thing I have learned about Bushy is that he is VERY intelligent. He saw the writing on the wall at DL a LOOOOOOng time before we ever went chp 11, and bailed......Got his lump sum and went to work for B6. Now I'm not even close to being in the know about what B6 has going on, but I can promise you this, if something surprising happens to B6 in the coming months, it will be because he (Bushy) told you so by leaving.

Its just my .02

Bushy was know at JB and DL as a stand up guy, a pilot's friend. Saying that, I for one believed him when he said that the decision to leave JB for CA was a personal one designed to allow him to spend time with his wife and family during his "golden" years. He has long ties to the BOS area, and the CA move allowed him to return there and still keep his hand in the industry, while being a great deal lower stress than being VP FLT OPS at JB.

I wouldnt read too much more into it than that.

If there actually is a code share agreement and a possible flow through it certainly would be news. Cape Air has wanted stateside ATRs for quite some time. It would be news if it actually happens.....

Here we are a year later

Of course the article is a year old, I said that myself. I guess we can never revisit things after time passes and things change, eh Ace?
