A fix it letter does not mean that you will be called but only that your application was reviewed and put into one of the tiers.
So to be clear if your application was reviewed and placed into the most competitive tier you will get a call pretty quickly.
If your application was reviewed and placed into the least competitive tier you will be at the back of the list.
There are thousands of applications on file. The good thing about the "fix-it" e-mail is that your application was reviewed. I am not sure if your application can be scored into one of the three tiers until you make your corrections as requested.
Hope this answers some of your questions.
Good Luck!

Does anyone know if it's true, that if you don't have any driving violations it's a bad thing? I read a gouge a while back about a guy that didn't have any violations and he claims he was not hired because DAL didn't believe him. I know AK has said that they don't worry unless you have more than 7 tickets but I'm not sure if they worry if you don't have any at all either?

I know that one guy on here said that AK told him that he was in tier 2 and he still got the interview and has a CJO. That just sounds crazy if they only have three tiers and they are already interviewing in tier 2. I know as of two weeks ago they have only reviewed 1100 of the 8000 apps on file. I was told that of the 8,000 apps only 600 have internal LOR's, not sure if that is true.

That will be pretty damn (ironic/funny/moronic) if someone makes up a speeding ticket to sound more human.
There is an interview gouge from MAR 2008 in WFFF worth reading. I certainly wouldn't advocate making up a story, but at the same time, I'd try to not come across with the same personality of the DMV inspector.

Just be prepared for the classic, "Tell me about a time you didn't get a speeding ticket..." Like any question, you want to "expand the team," solicit input from others, and always emphasize safety. Just like that time when...
My wife, 16-yr old son and I were driving two hours to see Granny, taking her some new medication. I had the cruise control set at 15 above the speed limit when my son pointed at that he heard from a friend of his that we were approaching a speed trap. Now, he had only been driving about 3 months, and my wife and I had driven this road numerous times over the years. My wife contested, explaining that we didn't need any delays in getting Granny her meds. However, something didn't feel right in my gut. And I knew we'd be driving a lot together that summer, and I didn't want to alienate my son on our first day of driving. Despite my wife's objections, I pointed out that losing a couple minutes by slowing down was ultimately safer than losing 20-30 minutes dealing with a speeding ticket. I eased off the speed to just 5 over the limit, right as we passed a motorcycle cop positioned behind a billboard. In the end, Granny got her meds and lived, my son thought I was the greatest dad, and my wife realized we had made the right decision. Any questions?
I got hired in Mar without any speeding tickets, FWIW.
