Cape Air Questions
I just had a few questions for any Cape Air guys out there. What is a typical schedule you fly each month? Are any planes based in BOS or do they all returnt to HYA each evening? Would it be possible to live in Boston and fly for Cape Air out of there or commute to HYA?

typical schedule sucks. 13 hr days. 5 days a week. 60 hrs a week of duty.
you are home at night, but what's the point if you just have to go sleep to be there for a 5:30 AM show.
yes there is planes based in BOS but you'll have to bid on it, and when I left they were pretty senior.
commuting by car would be easier, the planes aren't very big ya know, so they are usually filled.
Some ppl love it, I didn't. there's no money to be made there, but it could possibly keep the wife happy, since you'll be in home at night.

Thanks for the info guys. I think I may have an interview at Cape Air pretty soon, wish me luck. I would love to stay in the northeast if possible, hard to find decent flying jobs around here. I figured Boston would be junior because of the living costs there and thought there would be alot of die hard cape codders working there, guess not, thanks for the the help though!
