no street capt.s We lowered mins to upgrade-2500tt if you have @ least 1000hrs. w/ PNCL or 2000tt with 1500@pinnacle and completion of 90days in a captain mentorship program to be developed later. Mngmt said the move was put in place specifically to avoid street capts. Payrate has yet to be determined as I'm sure they will hope to have the contract done by Nov.

And yet somehow (CMR) management kept promising us better things in the future after bankruptcy and only a few hours out of Ch 11 and already the 900's go to yet another DCI company (don't even get me started on that) and newspapers and tv/radio news talk of us being sold all morning (not that its anything new). Real great.
