If you meet minimums as an Air Force pilot, and have a type rating, I would think that they would call you right away, like within a month. That has been the recent experience at Luke.

I had no type and got called after 6 mos. Yes, they do advise you with an e-mail that tells you what dates are available and asks you to call them back.

Double check your online app. I know more than one person (myself included) who had their education section drop out of the application, so it looked like we'd never been to college, yet we were USAF aviators. This may have held up my interview. I was actually notified by SWA via e-mail that something looked wrong with my app. I corrected it and was called two months later.

Good Luck
