7 of the lines you’re gone 4 days, 3 nights. So you start at 10:00 am day 1, and you’re done around 4pm on day 4. The other 7 lines you only have 2 overnights which are on days 2, 3. So you’ll have to have a place to stay in BIL on day 1 if you can’t pick up an extra overnight that day. There’s only 14 lines total in BIL for FO’s.

I read a ways back that the schedule for Northeast FO was 4/4. To be clear, that's 4 days on, then 4 days off? I live in NE PA so Cape Air could be a good fit with that type of schedule since I could take a short flight or even drive the commute if need be.

So are the typical schedules 4 days on 3 days off or 4 on 4 off? I’ve seen both discussed. Does it depend on your base? I would need to commute and because of the base being an outstation, the 4/4 would be better than the 4/3 since I would spend at least half day commuting home and then another half day back to the outstation. Any commuters on here who can share their experience?
Also, since the rotations are 6 months, what do pilots do for housing at their bases? Sharing an apartment? Renting rooms?
Any current pilots with Cape Air please chime in. Thanks!

Captain schedules vary by base, some are 4/4 some are 3/4 4/3, some are 4/3, etc. The FOs are almost all just 4/4 for simplicity...
Many FOs upgrade before 6 mos, but otherwise yes people have different housing and roommate arrangements in different places that are sometimes handed down...
