70-90 hours. A lot at the beginning, trickling down to nothing at the end of the month. It's feasible if you're motivated, a portion of the flying you'll grab for OT is via the app, but I get more time by looking for open sequences and calling scheduling generally the day of or for the following day.
Expect around 18 months to make captain, if you come in with no previous time and you fly every possible day you're allowed.
