Junior schedule depends if you are in domicile or TDY. I think it varies wildly, but I am sitting something like 3 days of reserve and two flights a week -ish as a new hire on the bus while TDY. Some new guys in base have 100hr/month schedules.

Homeless base is basically a permanent TDY. You bid for it, so you can get 24/7 per diem. Great for single folks. If no one bids it, it will be awarded based on seniority or lack thereof. If you are awarded a base, you can still be forced TDY, but that seems to be a little less common. About 10 pilots get forced out of base against their wishes each month.

APC pay scale is accurate.

Pay during training is now min guarantee. ($41/hr x 70). Hotel is provided (single occupancy) along with one rental car per 2 people once you enter the sim phase. Surprisingly, the company uses rather nice hotels (Marriott, Hyatt, etc).

I'm not sure about the med insurance or regional stuff as I am mil. Perhaps someone else can chime in on those points.

Good luck.
