Hours are variable month to month depending on how much training the company is doing at the moment. Also, your amount of flying is not affected if you have leave or fly a full month. Some how the rosters all come out with the same block hours, meaning the guys with leave fly the longer sectors and the guys with no leave have 8 days off and fly all the short flights during the month.
Procedure after you land? Indoc, GCAA Air Law test, medical, get the visa and other paper work taken care of on your own. Company provides hotel during first month by keeping your first month housing allowance (all of it), then you are on your own to find housing. Some of the pilots have setup a briefing day to come in and explain everything the company does not help with (care about helping with) to get you settled easier.
Salary as published on company website. How long to the line depends on GCAA paperwork and if you have problems in training (CAE delays, instructors available, etc....). Average, about 4-6 weeks to get everything in order.
If you are already on the NG, stay where you are at now. This is not the place to lateral unless your operator is going under.
