If you have terminal leave saved up, you could start class while on that and keep the pay and benefits.
Since the process from interview to class can take some time, I'd say interview NLT than 2 months out from separation.
I was originally focused on your question about timeline, but this applies anywhere. I would strongly suggest going somewhere else. Expressjet or Endeavor would be a strong bet for now.
