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?

If you have the opportunity to get IFR current, it would be to your benefit. Also, work on knowing how to use a Garmin 430. If you can get access to the memory items and flows ahead of time, you will be in good shape.
Commuting is possible but not always easy. San Juan can be a headache to get into/out of at times. There's tons of guys commuting that have high seniority. There's a few redeyes to save the day. Cape is not very tolerant of no-showing due to commuting, and that is reflected in their commuting policy. Living in the Carib is also very expensive and decent living arrangements can be difficult to find on our kind of salary. The sooner that you start reaching out to find something, the better.

Depends on seniority... There are guys at the top of the pay scale who are check airman and work incentive like crazy, who make well into 6 figure range
