That's a pretty wide open question and I'm not sure there's a typical. I'd say 4-5 on, 3 off for the most part was our class' experience. If you take the 200 (particularly DTW) you shouldn't be on reserve more than the remainder of your OE month and 1 after. I wouldn't commute to reserve without a crash pad. Good news is you can get them for just the 2 months you'll need. I was able to commute in/out on my start/end reserve days and it wasn't too bad (but I paid for the pad, and it was worth it)!

Seem to be. Everyone from my class that wanted one got one. At least half of us will be out by end of July because we got lines already.

The affidavit has to be notarized. I don't think they look into it all, just don't be a dumbass and put two different addresses on the affidavit, etc.

Most of the hotels are priced at crash pad rates. You really don't need a crashpad at DTW when america's best is priced at ~$50 a night and you get a hot breakfast the next day.
