Hello all,

First post here on the site, but a long-time peruser.

I'm a Navy Super Hornet pilot who is just under two years from the end of my obligation, and am leaning heavily towards making the leap to the airlines after this tour.

I've seen in a few threads that the application and interview process will likely happen in the year to six months leading up to separation (based on the availability date I'd provide on an application). Curious how this timeline would be affected by my deployment cycle; I'll likely be on deployment in the six months leading up to separation. I may even separate or go on terminal leave from overseas, depending on the wishes of my squadron. I don't forsee an issue with getting my Apps in-line, but the actual interview is the concern...

Anybody have experience with this timeline, or know how the airlines would deal with somebody on this timeline, from an interview standpoint?

Thanks, and Happy Holidays to all.
