Cape Air flies Cessna 402s, not 421s.

Cape Air is going to replace their 84 Cessna 421s with 100 Tecnam P2012.

Two questions

1) The 421 is a pressurized airplane. The P2012 is not. How will this effect their operations, especially when the weather is less than perfect?

2) Their 84 Cessna 421s is a about 9% of all remaining 421s in the world. What are they going to do with them? Will they be sold and do they have any economic life left in them?

That's correct, they operate Cessna 402s and they are not pressurized. Where did you get that erroneous information, kitplane01?

Miss-read wikipedia, which correctly states Cessna 402s. I'm clearly still learning. And thank you all for being polite .. not everyone on the board is.
