Keep in mind, it would most likely take several years to acquire those tails so while the amount of hiring they'd do to staff it looks good...it'll take awhile to come to fruition.
As to the running the others out of business, I was at the 7 Feb as well, and it was my opinion the the folks we were dealing with were very, very smart. And it's not just DOD. They have several ACMI customers for the 76 already lined up with long term contracts so it looks to be a solid start.
As far as the interview, professional but relaxed. No head games and you go through the process in a little over half the day. The writing assessment was pretty much the only uncertainty we had all day---if you have problem filling a page with handwritten English, you should probably work on that.
It was a great experience and I am even more excited to have the chance to be there. Great bunch of folks in the interview group and hopefully we'll be hearing good news in a couple of weeks.
