Can anyone give me an idea what the reserve time in a day is like for AM and PM? For examole, 5AM-5PM is AM reserve. Also can you bid on reserve preference?

You bid, or are assigned reserve. There is no time associated with it if you bid it. The company generally assigns the time starting at either 0430 or 0600. The RAP is 12 hours, and the company believes it's extendable to 18 hours.
What they typically do, is call you at 0431 and put you back in to rest so they can give you an assignment for later in that afternoon.

I keep hearing August 11th... I received an email yesterday saying August 8th is the start of orientation.
And my experience is regional FO (I exceed mins) actively serving in the US mil (non flying). Job fair did the trick.

Aug 11 is the date you'll actually start indoc/ground. Aug 8 is orientation. All employees have to attend orientation and it usually is held the Friday prior to class start. It'll be all the benefits and such that apply to everyone.
Sounds like 36 are supposed to start in that August class. 24 MD80, 12 Airbus (numbers subject to change...of course).

Which leads to the next question of, how is class seniority determined?

Seniority determined by age. The rest is anyone’s guess. It’s a very disorganized place.

You only work one saturday during initial when Bob comes in and tells you for 8 hours about how many ways he can kill you and then he tries to pick up the flight attendants. You'll leave wondering why the @#$% you gave up a saturday but at least you can now stop another 9/11 with "The Wedge."
