Hey there Coop,
I started in December and heard about the street captain rumor too. My sim partner was a 3200 hr upgrade and he was the most junior at the time. Seems like the 3000 hr req is BS since its really company imposed and the insurance wouldn't be that much more. Lemme know if you have any more info.

PS. Where are you based? I'm in MDT and hoping for EWN at some point.
