My understanding is that if you hold a medical and are capable of being a pilot (under 65) you get a number immediately. That's not positively confirmed though.
I know someone who’s doing this. Just talked to them about it. I’m not sure the qualifications for getting hired, but...you sign on to teach for two years minimum. Your seniority starts your first day on the property. Starting pay is 70k first year, then you go up as on the FO pay scale. You teach sim-only. One event (6 hours). Get 12-13 days off a month.
After the two years is up, you can go to the line if you want.
