Dane,
As long as you aren't a complete ass in the interview you should be fine. I was hired with 1800/50 and know many who were hired with less than that. In the interview they are looking for people who will fit in. Everyone is very nice, laid back and very reasonable so as long as you aren't some cocky, uptight prick you will be hired. They know they can train you to fly the Saab (or the CRJ if you are unlucky
)
Study the AIM, know all your instrument procedures and rules and go over your interviewing skills--the scenario questions about how you have dealt with problems in the past both in the air and on the ground.
