For all those candidates, and future candidates out there, have a read of this passage from G SXTY from his post http://www.pprune.org/forums/intervi...ml#post4212224

Yes, it's about getting a job in the cockpit, but it gives you all an idea of how much prep he did before his interview. Might be worth some thought.

Top tip no. 2 - a school might get you an interview, but that's just the start of it. I researched like my life depended on it. I borrowed books on interview techniques, I read-up on technical questions, I learned the company history by heart. I found out how many seats a Q400 has. I contacted Dash 8 pilots I knew, I pestered Flybe pilots via Pprune. I even managed to get a mock interview with a kindly recruiter from another airline. In short, I was prepared. Which is no more than they expect. The interview was on a Friday afternoon, friendly but probing, and I left feeling I had done as well as I could - but you can never be sure.
