It would be realistic to be getting the major interview calls by the 6 month mark, but then however long the interview/background check/class assignment timeline takes after that.
So then safer bet is probably the 24 month flying orders since you would leave current and check the 1000 PIC block, rather than rolling the dice on a 3 month window where you could get a call while you are still recent/current?
