Ground isn't hard, but there's a lot of information, especially if you're new to the PC-12 and/or turbines. However, you're provided access to all training materials used in class (powerpoints, etc), a study guide, and items you need to know are pointed out throughout ground. If you take notes on those items and study the training materials, you should be fine.

Is it possible to commute now with the CASS?
How the schedule looks like, is it possible to work like 10 days in a row and get some days off in a row?
Thanks in advance
Classes are filling up, word is they're receiving 30 FO resumes a day. Not sure about Captains. Competitive hours are now ~600+ for FOs, with instructor experience highly preferred. The assumption seems to be that all FOs will upgrade.
CASS is available but commuting is unlikely to work out, honestly. There is a policy regarding commuting but it's worded such that commuting is discouraged. Best to be in your assigned base.
The schedule is mostly out of your hands - you can submit preferences, but none of it is guaranteed and it's pretty variable. Next month I've got four days off in a row at one point, two days off here and there, and one day off here and there. You can also swap days with another pilot, but to a limited extent.
