You won't know until the bid comes out. East coast is hard to come by because most new hires are being put into the Tecnam and getting seat-locked. If you are coming here and want Boston or Hyannis it is probably not going to happen. Realistically Manistee MI, Kirksville MO, and Quincy, IL continue to go to the lowest seniority because people do not want to be there. Truthfully with over 40+ crew bases it is very hard to find consistency if choosing Cape. Again, a good company with a lot of good qualities but the basing is really tough.

second what Mandalorian is saying. the recent FO bid has bases in the Midwest like IRK, MBL, and UIN being assigned because they werent filled. Depending on the timeline of a few upcoming upgrades BIL may open up by July, but yeah the likelihood of getting BOS or HYA (just using these because they seem to be the most popular) as a new hire is essentially zero. The bases around it i.e. LEB, RUT, BHB are also pretty full with FOs who are 'in line' for BOS or HYA.

Base assignment
Does Cape Air expect you to relocate to the base if you are assigned or do they have the ability to allow the pilot to travel to the base? I am curious about the people who have family and they own a home and not have the ability to move at the start but could afford to rent an apartment with couple of other people?
Thanks for the information.

They do expect you to relocate but all in all, they don’t care whether you do or not as long as you show up. We do have a commuter policy but it isn’t as strong as the 121 regionals. Most people in your case typically just get an apartment with someone and split the cost. Depending on where you live and what base you get, it’s more than doable if you are okay with 1-2 days at home per week.

Part time or seasonal Cape pilots
Is it possible to be a seasonal pilot at Cape Air? They mention a leave of absence policy where you can retain seniority if you come back within a year. Currently working for a regional but looking to throttle back on flying a bit. Seems like that might be possible there?

put in app for FO.
I was wonder with the increase of pilot movement, what the possibility of getting a call from the HR for an interview and how often should I keep putting in an app to update my flight hours.
I am hoping to get the call and hope to get an opportunity that they would hire me on as an FO. I am looking forward to a career as an airline pilot.

It is somewhere in that range. It seems like they’re taking one or two per month. It’d be great if they upped that number but I doubt that would happen. Cape Air is struggling to keep up with the demand.
