Typically the Captain will file the flight plans and the FO will do the W&B other than that you fly the plane.

I filled out an application and sent in a resume to Cape Air about a month ago. What are my chances of getting hired or atleast getting a call?
Typically how long does it take to get a call back from them?

Why has BIL become such a hot base? I had heard at one time that Cape couldn’t get anyone to take BIL & that it was the most junior base

Centralized basing is great. Especially If you commute. The overnights you pick up $36 in per diem. Typically only fly 4 legs a day and I’ve been averaging 5 hrs flight time a day. It’s pretty laid back flying in Montana as well. Billings has been a secret of cape air but it’s not so secret anymore.

Hey guys. Quick questions. I’m currently sitting at 470TT with 235 x-country 64 instrument (actual & simulated) and 35 night. I expect to be at 500 by next month. Also I also have spatial disorientation training in a GAT-II and I’ve done hypoxia training. Im student at Embry-Riddle and won’t graduate till December. Training in progress is tailwheel transition and upset recovery training.

Should I wait until I have 500TT? What are my chances of getting an interview/job?

I do think having a CFI will put someone ahead of you for a call. If you find yourself sitting around waiting for a job, consider getting the CFI added on.

I agree. I’d add to that, that from what I’ve seen the guys that have degrees from the aviation university’s seem to get hired at low time with no CFI. I didn’t go to one, so not tooting my own horn, just stating what I’ve observed.
