Where Can I get technical info on an ac in preparation for an interview?

Hi all,

Lets say I am lucky enough to get an interview for a job on eg a Dash 8, 737, etc it would I think be a good idea to know a bit about which ever aircaft it is you are going for.

a)What kind of level of knowledge would an air line expect you to have, given that you have never flown the aircraft?

b) where would I look to get hold of such knowledge?

Obviously they cant expect you to know an ac you have never flown b4 inside out(can they?), but Im thinking it might be good to know things like:

cruise speed, weight, dimensions, kind of avionics equipment fitted, (eg efis, FMS etc), type of flaps/slats, basic knowledge of type of engine, etc. In other words the kind of fairly superficial things your average plane spotter might know.
What does anybody else think about this?
