DANG lucky and found themselves as CRJ 900 captains with less than a year at the company, however I believe they are both in their 30's already. We have a number of Saab captains that managed upgrade inside a year here as well. But that was mostly good timing or some people who were already at other regionals for a while that jumped over when we had the couple street captain classes. Either way it came down to luck and good timing. Had some of my classmates taken the recall a couple years ago they'd be a CRJ900 captain with me. They didn't and are now in very serious jeopardy of now being furloughed from Comair.
With the quality of the recent round of new hires, there will be many street captain jobs comming down the pike in a few years, since many of the recent new hires do not have ATP PIC minimums....
