More than half, and probably more than 75%, of my class finished OE before 4 months. About 8 that I'm aware of finished around the 3 month mark. A lot of my class was out flying on OE a week to two weeks after finishing training in MIA.
Recently I've flown with several FOs from the late April class that are already off OE.

By they way, Allegiant is hiring and they have a much better contract.
Allegiant is certainly not for everybody with their style of schedule basically dictating that you live in base....but SWA just got a TA that puts 12 year Captains at $282/hr and FOs at $198/hr...and they're doing recruiting events indicating they're having a bit of a difficult time attracting quality pilots.
Doesn't that mean that, by the way Atlas looks at pay scales being weight related, and comparing a 737-800 at 174k lbs and a 747-8 at 987k lbs...that we should be making 567% of SWA rates? Hell, I'll even settle for -400 rates at 503%....I'm not greedy.
