I've seen that before - When I was upgrading at my old regional there were FO's angry that they weren't yet 23 and thus couldn't hold an ATP certificate...It's not like the rules had been invented the day before, it's the way it's been for years, don't get upset NOW.

I'd wonder what job security is like for the street captains - considering if things go south they'd likely be the first ones kicked off property, and as a guy who's ridden the downgrade/furlough train I'd have no interest in that life....I'm sure I could get over living on reserve...but the missing security (is there such a thing w/ a regional) would be terrible.

I'm a guy who's on the outside and likely wouldn't get back in even with Street Captains coming up. I miss the life, but getting back in would mean giving up a whole lot of LIFE for the sake of "living the dream".
