How can you say a new FO will upgrade quicker at PDT than any other regional regardless of the wait? If someone is hired at regional A and has a line within a month, and the new guy at PDT has to wait 6 months to start training, then the guy at regional A will be a CA at least 6 months before the PDT guy. 1,000 hours is the minimum, and those hours are not loggable on the couch.
All things being equal, that first year everyone else is either sitting in a crashpad on reserve, or sitting in line to upgrade in a couple of years at another regional. Outside of DEC hires at other regionals a new FO will upgrade quicker at PDT than the other 121 regionals regardless if they have a wait in training or not.

Fair enough, I just saw it in a coupla messages, then realized it was BS after I posted.
Still... 4-8 weeks on the couch, and you will be behind your peers who go straight thru training and on to a line. Only by your hold up, but I know guys who sat as an FO for an extra 3 years because of a 2-week delay in the past.
What is RSV time at PDT these days after IOE?
