Iso, as of today they have recieved about 700 applications, so I imagine it will take them some time.
Tape it shut, I think being a LCC they would try to get costs down as much as possible. Training if supplied would be factored into the price I'm sure. But indeed if PB was to nominate a select few to do the Boeing training, and have those select few pay PB, it could help in reducing costs. I don't know how many training slots per aircraft we'd be talking about, but say $30K? for a(n) NG rating, there would want to be a significant number of slots sold to bring down the price of a new NG significantly. Just my 2c
