For those who get hired and need the CTP, how often/quick can they get you started with that? Will that cause a significant delay in my class start date by having to wait a while to get into one of those courses?

Drop means you click "DROP" and the company takes the pairing off your schedule, because they can assign it to a reserve. To drop means the company needs to have enough reserves to cover the minimum reserve staffing, PLUS extra(s) to cover your trip. You can POST your trip so some other pilot can pick it up. Some pilots will add a cash amount in the comments section, from double to triple digits...
If those don't work, you can always call in EMER and just say you're not flying it. Crew Support does not need to know WHY you're calling in EMER. You could be sick, or you have something better going on, and you could not DROP or POST it successfully.
It's best to call in EMER before two hours to report time, so they can assign a reserve to it with a a two-hour callout.

Generally they seem to be able to get you into a CTP class as soon as you can make it happen. Adds a few extra days to training but you will get paid for it. I was able to start ground school the week after completing CTP sims. This was on the CRJ, I've heard rumors the ERJ is a longer wait but I don't know anything definite on that side.
