First of all, I don't know where the assumption comes from active duty dudes that you'll put an app in on Monday and get a phone call Tuesday for an interview. Currently you have thousands of apps on file at every airline with most of them having competitive mins, just saying that don't expect to get this phone call or to have all these airlines calling you begging for an interview. Likewise, you may say, well so and so has similar mins in my squadron and he got hired right away...I've witnessed that as well only to watch others with even better qualifications still waiting for phone calls. Just be prepared you could be waiting a while for that slot.
