Availability?

I've read this thread from the top, and it's good reading.

I'll have my PPL in a couple of months, so naturally I'm looking to "fly something" at the end of it.

Forgive me for a daft question, but what fraction ownership adds up to days of availability? Clearly, if I had, say, 1/10th ownership I'd expect around 1/10th of the time to fly.

But would it be:
36 days or 5.2 weeks or 876 hours? How is it divided up?

If (say) I wanted to take it away over a bank holiday, would I have any hope at all of doing so? Does it need to be booked months in advance?

Does anybody generally have 'first grabs' on the time they fly?

Is there an minimum fractional ownership that should be avoided?

Sorry for all the questions - and I have expect the answer to be that it depends on the group - but some idea of what happens would be most welcome.
