My question is how does it look to stop the process halfway through, i.e. I start interviewing with an airline but the March results are good and I elect to stay in the military. Would that have repercussions down the line when I do in fact get out of the military and pursue the airlines? When would be a good time to start submitting applications without shooting myself in the foot?

Talking to a hiring prep consultant- apply apply apply- you're more than competitive as a jet guy for all of the majors. You can turn down interviews and be okay. If you get the job offer and turn that down you've nuked a pretty big bridge.
