Reach for the Sky?

On Tuesday night, I recieved an email from the program I'm enrolled in for flight attendant training, which said that there is a new airline beginning in early 2009 and they were seeking employees. I applied immediately, of course.
Then yesterday, as I'm just getting out of the shower I get a phone call. I was quite surprised, seeing as how normally it takes weeks, even months after applying to hear back from the airlines. I don't know what you would call it, but it felt like an interview to me. So there I was, standing in my towel, dripping wet, trying to give the best answer to these questions although I was caught completely off guard. I wouldn't be surprised if I don't hear back, given my long pauses and "ummms" throughout the phone call, but I'm still holding out that glimmer of hope that maybe this time they'll call me back, maybe this time I'll get the job I've chased for year, and finally leave Red Deer permanently. Maybe.
I'm not telling anybody, I'm not even getting excited, because if it doesn't work out then it will be an even bigger let down. I have the qualifications, I have the determination required... I just really suck at interviews.
