I currently live in Annapolis, MD. I would be willing to move however I would hope to find a base somewhere in the mid-atlantic to northeast region.
Understandably the commute would be a negative impact on quality of life but what would the schedule look like (understanding company dependent but is there a regional average)?

The search function is your friend. As is doing research. Asking questions on an anonymous web board isn't doing your research any more than looking at Facebook is.

I was recently told about the possibility of "Street Captains" and was wondering if anyone knows which companies are currently looking to hire straight to a captain position. I am currently out of the military and have a total of about 1600 hours and am getting my ATP. I have about 600 Turbine PIC hours. I would also appreciate a brief opinion on the quality of life/pay at that airline if you have any more knowledge on that company.
Thank you all for your help.

I think you were told wrong those 500 hours of PIC in the military won't go towards your time to upgrade . You need 1000 hours of 121 time to upgrade. So you might be starting from scratch in that department. You won't have the time to upgrade at an airline for at least a year and a half, maybe two .Being optimistic . But look at PSA Piedmont or Commutair if you are on the east coast . Skywest or Compass if you are on the west

Reminds me of the mil bug eyed newhire UAL jumpseater I had a few weeks ago....
Such questions as "What is ramp control?"
"I don't understand how you fly this (RNAV) arrival."

In addition, military PIC time (up to 500 hours) in a multiengine turbine-powered, fixed-wing airplane in an operation requiring more than one pilot may also be credited towards the 1,000 hours.

I've flown with quite a few military guys new to 121 and all do a decent job as long as they don't let their ego get in their way. That being said, I've seen a few of the "high and mighty" ones humbled trying to read-back or even understand taxi instructions in Chicago. It's a little more complicated than "taxi to the runway via alpha."
