Yes
Define long. Some were 7 years reserve back in the day. But i guess for the new guys anything over a month is long...

About 6 months - 9months. That's my personal guess if the status quo is the same.

Yes they often do...4 on 3 off is common.

Thank you so much for the replies. I have found myself in a situation where I need to either s$@t or get off the pot. I'm a 46 year old corporate pilot and I either stick with it or go get some 121 time and try to get on with a major in the next couple years. Again, thanks for the replies.

The sooner the better, 121 is all about seniority. I have this conversation a lot with fellow pilots and past students and use this analogy: it's like a garage sale, if you are on the fence about an item you sell it. Same with 121 if your thinking about it, do it.

Good luck, we're all counting on you.
