Fly over or fly by? Or are you trying to offset?

The UNS manuals can be downloaded from the flight training page if you don't have them already. Might find a more detailed explanation in there.

Going to take like a month to disassemble and remove the DH8 sim and then the 145 sim will start immediately there after. About a month to install and assemble. 2+ months from now sounds like for the CLT 145 sim to be up and running.

The iPads were distributed in 2016 (check web-site) - they just left you out

Pretty sure there are a handful of pilots flying the line right now with iPads in what is hopefully the final evaluation phase before everybody gets theirs.

The short answer: "soon!"
