No matter how easy the interview sounds for TSA take flynavyj's advice and look professional. Definitely wear a suit and tie.
Once your interview goes well then comes the fun stuff. From what I've heard from other friends, the training at TSA is longer then a lot of other airlines. Generally, training takes around 2 months, maybe a little bit more before you are completely done. You will have 2 weeks of GOM (General Operating Manual), which talks about the general procedures of the company.1 week of GOS (General Operating Specification), which covers regulations, weather, AIM, W&B, performance. Finally, 2 weeks of systems and then the systems final. Once you complete the oral you will have 8 sim lessons at flight safety in St. Louis, MO. After your sim lessons you will have your check ride and then complete your training with a LOFT.
To give you a perspective, I started July 2nd, and I just finished my LOFT and graduated from training today. I can't wait to start IOE.
