BM final interview consists of about 40-50 mins with CP of the Fokker fleet and an Airbus Training Capt (I think, can't remember).
Mostly personal stuff (why did you do the A-levels you chose, why uni if you went), what you've done since school/uni, some CRM-type role plays (cadet on your course is taking drugs, what do you do - might have got that one at OATS too) that sort of thing. They'll have a large model of one of the fleet next to you and overshadowing you, and you'll have to speak a bit about it. Some technical questions relating to dutch roll and other jet-type questions (Handling the Big Jets by D.P. Davies is good for this), and if you have flying experience (any at all) make sure you know a fair bit about the technical side of your aircraft (engine, standard settings, how the flaps operate...)
Presentation was on CFIT last time. They'll send you a letter about a week (if you're lucky!) in advance of your interview and tell you what the topic is, and you'll have to prepare a 10 minute stand-up presentation on it (white board and pens provided). The other area they asked you to prepare for last time was an analysis of the CRM implications of the Airtours Puerto Plata tailstike incident, the report can be found at AAIB website somewhere and is quite lengthy.
So there is a fair bit to do for BM. Best of luck to you all.
Not sure how many they took on last year but there were 50 candidates at this final stage.
