His company now has created, or is beginning to create a specialized Captain Mentoring Program (I've never heard of this concept)-required by the insurance company-so that there might be a chance to later upgrade FOs with 2000 total hours to the CRJ left seat.

Henson Airlines had a left seat mentoring program back in the early 1980's. Senior FO's, when paired with CKA, would fly the left seat. This was prior to their Captain's upgrade.
Pan Am had a similar program in the 1980's. I believe FO's in the top 10% of their bid status could fly left seat with approved Captains.
