You are paid by duty hour not flight hour. For instance I might have a week where I fly 30 hours, but work 53 or so... everything over 40 is overtime which is time and a half.

in your example, how can you get 53 duty hours? What kind of jobs do you do if you've logged 30 hours for a week?

What type of duties are you doing between 30 and 53hrs?
if you've flown 30 hrs, the 23hrs remaining will be based on what kind of duties?

For which? FO initial? PIC? ATP? Assuming you mean FO initial, I’d say anywhere from 6-8 weeks best case to 12 or more. It depends on how well you do, weather, instructor and simulator availability. It’s not a fixed time period. Your class only does ground school portion in lock step. Also includes check ride, chief pilot debrief, line oriented training and IOE.

You’re not quite understanding. There is no max scheduled hours other than you have to have a day off a week. Trust me if you’re scheduled for a 13 hour day that contains 7 hours of flying, what you’ve got in between is rest breaks, eating, bathroom, flight planning etc... if the company schedules you for those six days and you time out you’re still paid. Extra duty days however outside your line are likely to be “spare” duty, which will be a higher percentage of sit.
Thirteen hour days with 7+ hours of flying and 6-8 legs are very tiring. You need your breaks. If you’re bored and have too much energy go vacuum the plane, clean the windshield, and get your captain coffee
