Good luck... I had couple mistakes when my apps was reviewed by Capt. Mills as well. He will send you an email saying what needs to be fixed, and they will know if you've updated your apps. The sooner you fix it, the sooner they may be able to pull your file.

Remember, the first part of your panel interview consists of 3 people trying to dig through your apps. Finding anything that seems out of place. They have been doing that for a long time, and the less time they spend on your apps, the more questions you can answer, and more chance of passing the interview. It really sets a bad tone if you walk into the panel interview, and you have to pen and ink bunch of stuff before you even start the "real" interview!

Also, they spent significant amount of time discussing your prior employment attendance history, with a piece of paper that you sign that allow them to look at that specifically. So i'd tell them everything about your former jobs that you miss work, i.e. sick calls, personal leave, fatigue, everything! If you missed a leg, part of the trip, couldn't finish the trip, not available for duty, or whatever reason, that's the time to let them know. Be conservative, if something you're not sure would pop up on the radar, let them know ahead to cover yourself. They may ask you about a specific incidence.

PM me if you need specific info
