Couple other things to consider...
Once your app is approved by CBP (takes a couple weeks at best) they send you a confirmation email and instruct you to book an appointment. The appointment centers are listed on the website, but they are not everywhere (and mainly at airports). You have to book your appointment within 1 month of getting the conf email, otherwise you lose your $100.
Biggest other is that the centers can be booked solid for 6-8weeks, and the hours vary by location.
I did manage to get my interview as a walk-in at LAX (in TBIT) but I am not sure if all of the CBP offices do that.
Interview is very easy. Just confirm what was on your application and they take your fingerprints.

Not sure if it's true or not, but heard from several fellow crew members that we don't need an appointment. Just show up at one of the listed locations with your airline ID and they'll accommodate you.

here is a list of enrollment centers - I would call to see if they allow walk-ins. I have heard that most do permit them.

also, you have 90 days (not 30) to do the interview:
Approved Global Entry program applicants have 30 days from the date of their online approval notice to schedule an appointment with their nearest enrollment center. The actual appointment must be within 90 days of the date of the online approval notice.
currently the approval time is pretty quick - a week or 2.
