I started a new fighter pilot career in the summer of 1916, RNAS 3 which had a mix of Pups and Nieuport 11s. I didn't survive long enough to get to fly the Pup. So my first question, is there a set or random number of days one must serve in a squadron before getting to "upgrade" one's airplane? If it's a minimum, what is that minimum?
Second question...is there an easy way to limit a pilot to a single sortie a day, or advance a few days/weeks to simulate being on leave or grounded for weather? If not, how do I do that the hard way?

First, welcome to the WOFF world.
In answer to your ?'s:
Once you have established your pilot you must wait for the aircraft to be available and they will be issued to pilots based on seniority. You can see this availability on the following screen:
