How can you say a new FO will upgrade quicker at PDT than any other regional regardless of the wait? If someone is hired at regional A and has a line within a month, and the new guy at PDT has to wait 6 months to start training, then the guy at regional A will be a CA at least 6 months before the PDT guy. 1,000 hours is the minimum, and those hours are not loggable on the couch.
