Cape Air Pilot Interview:

What a great experience! The Chief Pilot and everyone else is just very friendly and professional.
I talked to the chief pilot first for an hour. He asked me a list of HR questions that every other airline asks. Mostly it was him talking about Cape Air and explaining the company. He did ask about when I'd be recalled. I told him that it would be at least a year. They want you to stay until October which is the end of the season for New England flying.
I then went to the tech interview. Just basic FAR 91 and 135 questions. He did ask me about tail stalls. We don't have a real problem with tail stalls in the DC-9 so I had to think about that for a while. I then went to fly the Gate 1 simulator...don't ask, just get some ATC 810 time and all will be well. I did a takeoff, steep turns, holding, ILS, go around and he asked me some abort questions before the takeoff.
That's it. A great company.
