Good point. A few guys from my former job that never got to upgrade before they went under went to work as street CA's at a certain 1900 operator in FL. As much as it sucked, as little as it payed, as stressful as it was being a passive B1900 flight instructor, it paid off for them.
They are now at FedEx and SW.
And yes, they all had in's/contacts that helped them get their jobs, just like everybody else. But by sucking it up, it got them the required experience to able to apply for the job.
