Mesa Street Capt Mins

Just a curiosity more than anything....

A friend of mine got the Dash 8 out of Denver with about 1800 TT 800 multi. He flew bank check out of Seattle (single pilot) for about a year.

Sorry man, I didn't mean to stray here. But I'm kind of sure 1000 PIC is about the only min... I'm not too sure on the specifics, or even if I'm right.

Well, I went in as a street CA for them a while back and the B-190 was just straight ATP mins as you have to have an ATP to be a CA. The dash I think fell under ICAO mins which would require the extra PIC time.
One thing to think about though is the extreme likelyhood of getting violated as a New 121 guy and a CA. I took that route and it almost gave me ulcers. I got out clean but some other I worked with didn't. Something to think about. Remember Mesa has the FAA on speed dial for turning ppl in.

Good God!? is that for street captain?! Those are the numbers i had when i went to Eagle (to be a SAAB FO) many moons ago. I was by far the lowest time guy in the class. I would not want to be in the back of that DH8 for his first 500 hours or so. Geez?!

What are some common violations that new 121 captains are likely to commit? Any more likely than a new 135 captain? Why would Mesa have an interest in reporting violations of their captains?
