Whenever I’ve viewed Piedmont flights on flightaware there is very little activity at any given time.

I've seen a bid packet, it's not that there is a lot of sitting around or long overnights, it's that in a 4 day trip you'll only average 15-18 hours. Seemed like there were a good amount of trips that started in the mid afternoon and ended early afternoon, so that was a positive if you're going to be a commuter.

Now, I have no idea how long it will be as their focus changes as needed between FO's with 121 experience and 0 time new hires like me.
Just keep your info updated as you fly so the latest is in AirlineApps when you do get a call.

just fyi for those applying as a 750+ hour FO. You will not receive the captain pay rate until after you complete IOE. The recruiter and website told us that we would be getting paid at the captain pay rate immediately in training.
