I really appreciate any pointers. Thanks a bunch for your time...
I beleive your app will score higher with type ratings but I'm not sure if it's any type rating or a type that would apply to the current fleet. Although not required, a sponsor would most likely be the best way to better your chances.
It took about 7 months from initial application to call for interview for me. YMMV.
It seems time in the pool varies. If you volunteer for a FDA, your pool time will be significantly less. I'm about to enter month six in the pool and others have been in longer. It seems to be a mix of backgrounds (military/civi). I'm a regional guy w/8600 TT/4200PIC. Good luck!
