PT stands for pacific time. it's used for Washington, Oregon, and California.

ET stands for eastern time. I'm not entirely sure in what states for which this is true, but it's eastern? refer to maps of time zones to be exact.

ANOTHER ANSWER:It could mean many things depending up on the context in which the abbreviations are used. At first blush it would appear to be Pacific Time and Eastern Time.

There are four time zones for the continental United States of America. ET (eastern time zone, on the east coast), CT (central time zone), MT (mountain time zone) and PT (pacific time zone). Remember too, that Alaska and Hawaii extend farther west than the PT zone giving our country two more zones: AT (Alaska time zone) and HT (Hawaii time zone).

It seems that people in general are avoiding the use of DST (daylight savings time) abbreviation because it has been manipulated beyond its original intent.

I've heard people say, repeatedly, that the DST (daylight savings time) should be abolished altogether. Pick a standard time, an hour early, an hour late, two hours early, whatever.... and use it as the standard! Stop messing around with the time and our clocks!

PT at 6 AM ET refers to Pacific Time (PT) at 6 AM Eastern Time (ET). Eastern Time is three hours ahead of Pacific Time, so when it is 6 AM ET, it is 3 AM PT. Therefore, to convert 6 AM ET to PT, you subtract three hours.
