They might get asked about it. My buddy got hired with SWA last July and put his papers in to get out of the AF. The slow down happened and he had to get a job due to no immediate classes and the AF not letting him stay in longer. He intervied with Delta and they specifically asked him about it. That might very well be due to the fact that he was a military guy with no civilian experience other then a type rating. The Delta folks can read between the lines. He just answered honestly and put a good spin on it. He did and got hired with Delta -- He worked there for all of 2 weeks before finally getting called to SWA.


In regards to going to the interview without a type -- If you're lucky enough to get called without the type, then definitely DON'T get one until after you're called with a job offer. If you make it to the interview, you're on an even playing field with everyone else. While you're twidling your thumbs waiting for that call -- Go get the Type. Clear as Mud -)
