Yeah, they guys I've talked to heading out the door to Delta and United have all mentioned that.

No not one bit. I also don't believe in Santa, easter bunny, or the tooth fairy.

Street captains!!!

Yup. The game has changed...again.

How long will it take to set up a training program for street captains?

But not the wait for IOE, still the same

It does suck, and the company screwed up to create this situation, there is no doubt. The LCA's are getting guys through pretty quickly now and I would not be surprised if the wait time does drop...until the next bunch of the LCA's go to the majors. Then it will be back to what it is now.

I use to fly an aircraft into a paved, private airfield. Because it was private, it wasn't programmed into the GPWS database. Inevitably, after not flying into said airfield for a number of months, on final approach, the GPWS would scream "Terrain Terrain Pull Up" because I had not preselected the GPWS to remain in standby mode. In nearly any other situation, that sort of a message would startle me. However, it was a nuisance message I had heard many times and knew was something to just ignore in that particular instance. Sublime, you're that GPWS. We've all heard your message. Many times. While some may agree with you, many have an opposing view point to yours, both at PSA and elsewhere. It no longer carries any weight and comes across only as an ignorable, nuisance noise. Clearly there are 25-30+ people, every two weeks, that consider your opinion to be that of the minority. Understandably you cannot change your opinion at this point as you've gone full-in on hating PSA, but for the love of all things good and holy, can you please stop stating the same "backstabbing" business every few days? It's a regional airline. Whoever it was that lied to you and told you it was going to be fair, perfect, high-paying, and forever stable is who I would propose you begin to direct your anger toward. We're all here for our certain reasons, non of which are to "screw you over" or "backstab" you. I do it to feed my family and because I can drive to work. I would propose that a total of zero point zero people that work at any regional airline chose that respective airline in order to screw you or anyone else, for that matter, over. Yes, we've all read what you think. We've all seen that you have angst against a group of people you don't know a thing about. And that, sir, is more sad than anything else. Go feed your family, I'll feed mine. Perhaps someday when this all crashes down on the bean-counters that made it this way we can share a beer and talk about how "terrible" it was.

Is this happening? Or are you guys calling the FO's who are upgrading out of IOE "street captains"?

The company changed the requirements to be a captain in a memo that was sent out tonight. They theoretically can hire street captains now. The requirement for the captain to first be a FO has been rescinded.

Well said Sir!
