Post Cape Air pilot bases

every source tells me different story (even their official website Pilot recruite page and Q&A page).

I Know Midwest and Montana are their junior bases. Still I live kinda close to St. Louis. So I would prefer to live in STL.
But some sources tell me they don't have pilot base in STL.

Do you have any idea?

This is the sort of thing that likely changes meaningfully year by year. Even if you get some authoritative answer for the way things are now, that doesn’t mean they will be that way six months from now

Does it mean pilots have to move around year by year?

I think they have had seasonal bases in the past, but no what I mean is that the industry is quite dynamic at the moment.

Lots of communities are losing Jet EAS service (and might get service from Cape). Cape (and everyone else) is having staffing problems and may close bases they can't staff so you might have to move. Perfect knowledge of the system today is of limited utility predicting how the system might look a year from now.

I am familiar with one town in Missouri and one in Illinois that are losing them as EAS. Another 135 airline is replacing them, I believe. They are connecting to Chicago, I have heard. This is all second hand.

This. Likely not forseeable a year ago. Someone might have given you otherwise very actionable information about an stl base that is ceasing to exist.
