They sucked it up, one is now at FedEx, the other flying 74's on a contract gig for JALWays.

Where these guys hired as street captains? If so why no PIC time?

1) Yes, hired as street CA's at Gulfstream
2) Do you you know anything about ACA? The last time they upgraded anybody was in March 2003. These guys were not senior enough to hold CA but were FO's for years before the company went out of business.

Have a buddy that got hired as a street CA and flew 120hrs and left. Lived at base in TPA and said he hated the job,company,airplanes, and would not wish it on his worst enemy...but who knows thats just one view....and if your building the time it might be worth it.

Depends on where you're trying to go. SW is Turbine PIC, UPS/FedEX is Multi Turbine PIC.
