Question 1

Where are your pilot bases?

Accepted Answer

Most of the communities that we serve are pilot bases for our Captains. Many of our pilots choose to live in their base, as that is where their assigned flying begins and ends every day. Our pilots bid for their base twice a year through a seniority bid system, which allow for some of the seasonal transitions many of our pilots do every spring and fall.

Question 2

How are pilot bases assigned?

Accepted Answer

Pilot bases are determined through a seniority bid system.  Many pilots will be required to transition between our regions for the summer and winter seasons.  Monetary assistance is given to transition pilots once hired with Cape Air.  Newly hired pilots can expect to be based in any of our regions.
