How many usually show up for the class?

Schedule's
Would any body be willing to share what their schedule might be like? In terms of, do you get any 3-4 day blocks of time off? How many days do you typically work in a row? I understand the bidding process and line holding, just curious how PDT's actual pilots live an average month. As well as what their prediction for a new hire's would be as well?
You'll have to forgive my ignorance, I'm a prior helicopter guy making the switch to airlines and I haven't been as plugged into daily airline life in the past. Now I'm playing catch up.
I'm looking at commuting in all the way from Colorado for the first six months to a year. Unfortunate yes, but is it possible?

Commuting can be a challenge. EWN flights are full all of the time, even the JumpSeat gets competitive. ROA has other airlines that serve it, including FedEx. For MDT, you can always even take the train from PHL. I don't have any opinions or experiences to share about CHO/SBY.
