Study packet should show up a week out. More than enough time to study the charts, practice departure and approach briefs, decode the Weather and NOTAMS, and write down all the answers to what every blotch of ink means.
If you want to adjust hours do it how the application says. Don't worry about other company's procedures. I didn't plus up my military time at all, then again I wasn't skirting the minimum qualifications.
Best of luck. You'll be fine if: you show that you cared enough to study the packets; you researched the company enough to discuss some of our customers, destinations, and know what ACMI means; you show that you sincerely want to be here; you are honest; and most importantly, you don't make the panel doubt whether or not they would want to spend a few days on the road flying complicated trips with you.
