If training capacity is an issue it might increase your wait time in the hold pool, it might not, depending on what the company's requirement is. Good luck. (I waited nearly a year for an interview then 2 months for the offer as a rated Airbus Captain. Others had offers immediately possibly due to base preference and notice period).
