I think you have to do a year of full time before you can apply for part time. 75% is not such a good idea apparently as they can manage to get you to do 100% of the work for 75% of the cash. 50% seems to be a better option if you can afford it. If you join on the bus you won't need to be part time as there is so much training going on you'll only fly 20-30 sectors a month! (not sure how long that will last though). Training is very good with just the usual hiccups you would expect from a company with a brand new fleet to introduce. As for the bus..well its got all the toys that its bigger brother's have (except HF) and is very nice day out!
