There was always some truth to a 5 year (even sub 5 year) flow.
Before Covid, people were flowing 4.5 years and it was rapidly rising to 7 years. So it was a lie saying 5 year flow to those they said it too.
That being said, most leave PDT after 2-3 years now for LCC or better and will make it to a major long before the flow has they stayed for a flow.
BUT, the same is true at every regional right now. So unfortunately the one thing PDT did have (a slightly shorter flow), is no longer a selling point and is still a lie. If PDT (or any regional) last 5 years from now.
