HOW LONG does PGI need for "Transfering pilots and Mechs" ?

After maybe 5 minutes our pilots got bored and canceled the transfer ... what is the maximum you can stay in this part of the CW queues after 12 men are ready for some action ?

All contested zones are occupied with no eligible ghost drop zone and you are waiting on an opponent. This can also happen if multiple 12 mans are queued up on your side and no opponents are on the other as only one ghost drop is allowed at a time.

It has a countdown from 10 minutes before you ghost drop when you have 12 and there is no opposing team.

The counter showing queue time becomes a count down.

As to how long the transfer takes? A few seconds I imagine. Just some data transfers after all.

If you don't have a full team yet, the counter will continue counting up. If you have a full team, you will either start a 10min countdown, or (if a team on your side is already in the 10min timer) continue counting up. If it's the latter, you won't see any of the pilot names for those who aren't in your group until the team/s in front of you either get a match, or they finish the 10min countdown to a ghost drop.

Is this confusing at all?

Those ghosts drops are annoying one every 10 mins is to much.We take +80% of the planet and then lose it to ghosts drops because there are so many IS players.

PGI needs to do something to get more people to play clan.

I doubt we are losing many to ghost drops. While there maybe 16 IS teams waiting to get a match only 1 team at a time can get a ghost drop. Usually what will happen is the poor sods will wait 15 minutes to get to the front of the queue (assuming no one quits). Then wait another 8 minutes to get a last minute join from a clan that just finished a match as battles are constantly being waged.

During NA primetime this is all but impossible as all 63 zones are active meaning that every ~30s a battle is freeing up somewhere (actually probably much faster as most battles don't go the full 30). Clans usually also have a short waiting line as well.
