So true!
I remember in my final interview, I was grilled by a Training Captain on B777. Why? Because I picked the 773ER, and he just started firing things at me. 45 minutes. non stop questioning. From basic aerodynamics such as lift weight drag thrust to fuel calculation, TOD calculation, to aviation weather like what is cold front warm front etc, to hydraulic system on B773 and some other things I didn't even know of. He asked me one question, I answered it, he then fired back right away, every time it gets harder and harder, 45 minutes, I chose my words very meticulously while sweating at my back. Few months preparation all out in 45 minutes. Keep in mind I was just a Zero hour guy! It was one hell experience.
Few months after I joined the company, met this chap again, told me he did it on purpose just to test out my limit! That, is what standard means people.
Good old days are gone.
