Are you applying under direct hire or the USA Jobs process? Direct hire might be a little quicker with everything, but normally 2-4 weeks after the interview you should hear something if you are selected. They'll start background and drug screen right away, and the sim/flight check will probably be scheduled another few weeks to a month out. Once you pass the check, it's a matter of days to get a firm offer and they will usually let you start as soon as you want you just have to wait until the first day of a pay period.
