From talking to some guys I believe the schedulles are something like 4 on and 2 off sometimes 3 off. All depends on seniority which will determine the pairings you get. Out of mco there are some 4 day trips with overnights that from what I've heard are commutable. If you live in mco or tpa you can pobably hold those bases right out off training now, fll might take some months not exactly sure how long. Again many people at Silver live in base and they like the fact that they don't commute and get to be home almost every night. As far as is it worth it to come to Silver I guess is a personal decision you'll have to make. Will you be living in base? Are you ok with flying a turboprop? Pay may improve in the next couple of months once a new ta is reached, but I don't know the exact timeline for that.

The Union still working with the TA hopefully we get news anytime soon. Rumors still very strong about getting ATR-600 but there is no announcement made yet. Pilot group is awesome and most of the trips are between 2 days to 4 days depending the base. MCO and TPA has more overnights than FLL. Overnights are in EYW, PBI, FLL, TPA that's for the MCO pilots. Upgrade is about 15 months for people with 0 121 time and with previous 121 about 5-8 months.

They had the supplemental air in the back when it wasn't MELd, but that didn't do jack for ya in the cockpit. Swedish sauna. Definitely not built for comfort in the heat.
