Ill say it agin, chasing PIC upgrade time is a bad strategy. First off, those of you who have 0 121 experience must remember in order to upgrade you must have 1000 121 time first. There is no way you will get a 1000 in a year. Reality is you will fly about 650-750 a year. If you live in base and pick up as much OT as humanly possible, sure you can there a bit faster. My point is it's probably going to take you 16-20 months to get the 1000.
I seriously dont care what company you choose but look at the big picture not just who has the best 1st year pay or fasted upgrade times but who has a standing chance to weather what's coming in the next few years. Who cares if you get paid $4 an hour more year one if in 2 years you're already bailing from said company because the PIC upgrade train you sought has stopped, and the company is in Shambles.
