YMMV. They might make it a gateway but don't count on it. Alternate travel shouldn't be that difficult though if you have that many airlines serving it.

Approximately 2 months until you start IOE. You're paid from the completion of your PC.

You can't get days off on the road, but you can get the first 12 of one month OFF, be used the rest of that month, get the last 12 of the next month off, and be used right up to the start of those days. That's make a potential "worst case scenario" of 36 days in a row.

Over 18 is overtime pay (above guarantee plus daily rate) Days 17 and 18 are "override" days... basically you get the 3.56 hours credit for each day and there is no premium pay if you exceed that flight time on those days. Without overcomplicating it think of it this way: 16 days at 64 hour guarantee or 18 days at 71 hour guarantee.
