These times are expected to come down a bit more, but we are now at full pace in training mode, so expect them to to drop some then plateau. Even at max hiring in 2019, it took about 10 months to get off reserve as an FO in a senior base. I'm not sure how much lower CA times will go.

but once you have sap you can do pretty well
the way hiring is going you should be able to go to an lcc soon after initial anyway

I was poking around the PSA First Officer career page for some info and this jumped out at me:
Qualifications
Required
• Must be a current CFI, actively instructing
Is PSA really limiting new hires to being active flight instructors only? Why would they limit themselves to this single population in these hiring conditions and is there a big enough pool for them to draw from? That just seems strange...
