A friend of mine got hired off the street back in the fall of 2005. You're right, I'm not sure that they are hiring captains again at this point either, but he made it sound like it was something that happened pretty often these days. I think there were at least 6 in his class and they were looking for 6 more a couple of months later.
Someone said "Why do you want to fly for a regional?" Personally, I don't, but I'd make the move over to the regional side if I was guaranteed PIC time. No sense in giving up the turbine PIC I'm getting now to go sit as an FO. Also want to be back in FL. I saw something on ClimbTo350 that Colgan was hiring street captains as well.. I'd consider that if they were in FL, but unfortunately the aren't.
Thanks for the honest and fair answers. I'm just trying to do my homework, not stir up the hornet's nest.
