Thanks for the words, VIRotate. How long ago did you work at Cape Air, or are you presently working for CA?
Another question: how many days per week or month is a Cape Air pilot contracted to work?

You'll always get at least 3 days off per week. Most of the Eas lines are 3 1/2 on 3 1/2 off. The senior lines in Hyannis have a couple 3 on 4 off. And a few lines are 4 on 4 off. 90% of FO lines are 4 on 4 off rotating, some of the bases in some regions have 4 on 3 off.

I worked there for about 10 months. Left a few months ago. And teddy is correct with the days off.

Thanks for the words, VIRotate & teddy3412. Are the workdays day trips or overnighters?

They are all day trips except BIL I believe. They get hotels as an FO. Not sure about the CAs.

Well, considering cape air has about 80 402s, and HYA is the center of operations and the main maintainance base... Yes, there are quite a few planes on the ramp there

No 402s are sitting due to lack of crew. It's a 40 year old airplane. There is always a broken one for it to replace!

Hey guys,

Looks like I have an October class date. I'm hearing that I will most likely get a Caribbean base but who knows. I live in CT. Do any current or former Cape pilots commute to the carribean from the northeast? How viable is this? How much time off per week will I get?

Thanks!

I've also been hearing some mixed things about FO training and high failure rates. Do you suggest I go get IFR current before class?
