Technical knowledge not required
More dumbing down as usual. On the other hand, a truly keen and enthusiastic pilot hopeful will already have willingly soaked up some aviation technical knowledge from the myriad and readily available free aeronautical websites for the sheer joy of reading and professional development. You can't fake that sort of technical knowledge at an interview. On the other hand, it is easy to pay a professional advisor to bone you up on the politically correct thing to say at an interview that ticks the right HR boxes.
