Any advice from some experienced PDT pilots would greatly be appreciated.
Why PDT?
All the other regionals have dropped their hiring mins to the 500-600 TT range. An upgrade at PDT is non-existent right now. If you're looking to move on to a major and want to be there within the next five years you need to pass Piedmont up. If being based in MDT or LGA means that you get to live at home, then I guess PDT will be alright for a few months. Don't expect to be logging any Turbine PIC time for at least 6-7 years. Other places you'll be logging Jet PIC time in 2-3 years.
Anyway, Good Luck. When you run into S.F., J.B. or J.K. tell them I said F.U.
