Be careful what you wish for.....

I applied to Express Jet in early March, and as of yesterday, no response. In the meantime, I accepted a new, salaried, CFI job, right near my house. It's great, but I'm really sick of flying around in circles (or more accurately, wathching other people fly around in circles)... So, I updated my resume, last night, and got the e-mail, today! They offered me interview dates 6-9 days away, and asked if I could start within two weeks of the interview date.

There is no way I can get truly prepared for this interview, in the one day off I have, between now and then. Hell, I can't even get off of work, from my current job, on that short of notice. I'd have to call in sick for a couple of days.

Express Jet is my 1st choice of Regionals, now that it looks like the West coast bases are going junior. My question is this...do I dare call them and ask for a later interview date, or is that the kiss of death?

Also, does anyone have any Mexican approach plates (like MZT) that they might be willing to scan, and e-mail me?

In a panic,
