I was one of the late June interviews that got pushed to the Aug DB. My refs were called soon after the interview also. In fact many people whom I know at the company (former squadron mates) were contacted even though I didn't provide their names. The hiring guy was flying with someone from my base and asked and it networked out from there. They called a letter writer, a Pira form contact, and an online rec giver also.

From what I have been told, the interview and the LOI are scored separately and don't come together until the DB. Is this true?

Aug 14th.... oh well i have been waiting for over a month already. What's a couple of weeks more. Its worth it.
