Ok, but I stand by the reasoning that at another airline one could interview in February, be in class in March, hit the line in July, and be at least 4 weeks ahead of the PDT new hire. 5 months from interview to having a line.
In your example, interview in February, hit the line in August or September. That guy will be a month or two behind the power curve, by my math.
It only matters when that new guy hits the tipping point of the upgrade fulcrum. At some point, the fast upgrade will be gone, and the first guy after that will wish he hadn't sat on the couch for 4-8 weeks is all I am saying.

Interview in February, finish OE and start building hours towards your upgrade by the 4th of July.
