Yes they were TPs, but that’s all there was except for Air Whisky or whoever flew the handful of BAE 146s for United.
Yeah I remember those days. Continental Express washed a bunch of those low time pay to train pilots out though. I skipped the pay to train and went 135 captain in various turboprops. The problem became you just didn’t build time like 121 and with everyone now having 121 jet had to go to xjt anyhow to get competitive.
