PDT uses the three letters "AQP" to justify not teaching you something in class. It's "home study". Basically, come to class, pay attention, do your work on time and you'll be fine. cooperate and graduate.
Also with AQP their job is to get you through flying the airplane. To hell with having a life. Like where you're going to be based, when you'll be done with training, moving time, etc. Ground school is the only thing that is fixed. After that, you could go right into sim or you could be off for a week (but still making min. guarantee 72 hrs. either way). I don't mean to be a downer, but you won't be coasting. The only advantage? We're so short on pilots they NEED you to pass.
BTW, you'll probably be on reserve for a month or two then go right into a build up line or hard schedule. In SBY we have one FO on reserve for the month of May.
