Dont listen to UAL....... I asked that exact question in the interview because simply I didn't know. Thats what it is meant for. Ask as many question as you feel... just dont ask the "stupid" one's that are obvious because it makes you look "dull" for one of better words.
With the movement through the ranks etc..... you need to have an idea what they expect of you and what you expect of them. There are plenty of people that cant afford type rating's on a Cruise Fo's wage (A330) so it is prudent for you to know what your getting yourself into.
What do you know about the process ... as much a possible but dont go in over confident otherwise they will shoot you down.
Who do you know... who cares. It relates directly to the first question. No one likes a name dropper, it shows underconfidence.. which is not always a bad thing but you want to appraoch the interview on your own merits.
What have you dont to prepare... everything you possibly can do in the time available
What is you experience level... commensuate with your understanding of the world. They dont expect Islander pilots to have a thorough understanding of heavy jet ops.. but atleast have an understanding of the basics (if they ask).
Good luck
