Hi!
Previously, you sent your resume, and you heard it was received within a couple of weeks. Then, if they want you, they send an app. A few weeks to a month or so after getting the app, if they want you still, they put you in the interview pool.
Depending on what base you asked for (which MAY be different after Nov 20), you would get an interview in 1-6 months. So, the timeline from first contact to interview WAS running about 6 months or so, as an average.
Since this info is out, I assume a TON more pilots will be applying, which will slow things down. IF it's approved on Nov 20, I assume a whole new crop of guys will apply.
Good Luck!
