Congrats on the references getting called. After the DB, you will (hopefully) get a call from a Chief Pilot or the like. Then, about a week later or so, you will get a call from the People Dept asking you to go do the DOT test.
Apparently it's a semi-standard DOT drug screen. They had a place in my home town to go do it, but since I was on the road in PHX this weekend, they set up a place for me to do it there. I got a 7 digit number from the paperwork and called it into the People Dept for them to check the results...I don't think I had any poppy seeds on my sandwich
PD said it would be another couple of weeks before they could give me a formal class date (pending no surprises in my background check, etc). Best guesstimate was mid-May start (that was from a 3/7 DB).

Thanks for the info. I here there are a couple of places nearby where I get the test done. Two months min from DB to class date is what I have heard as well.
Tonka, I interviewed 6 Mar, but did not hear about calls until 15-16 Mar. Good luck.

Stableone,
Typically your DB is the month after you interview. Unfortunately, those who interview at the beginning of the month have the longest to wait! (lol).
However, there are times when 2 DB's are held in a month (based on the number of interviews and the number of interviewees from previous months that did not meet a DB)
Bottom line....you never know until people hear something from the inside as time approaches.
