I got invited to the 2nd interview as well which is on the first of June for me.

I bought several books to help me with the technical interview;
'Ace the technical interview'
'Handling the big jets'
and some other books on basic aviation knowledge

will be using a lot of wikipedia - it's any college student's best friend.

I'm going to start from learning the stuff on the Cathay JKI booklet, details on KA's fleet such as engines, MTOW, Wings, aircraft differences etc.

In the book that I bought (Ace the technical interview) it states it got its questions from other CCP's including KA and CX and so I suggest that you start from reading basic aerodynamics (ie. what is an aerofoil, chord line, flaps, winglets) and I guess you can expect to explain how an airplane flies or how an engine works (What is bypass ratio? seems to be a popular question). I have no flying experience so I don't think i'll expect anything difficult but I guess. Just learning the basics is enough to kill you; good luck. Maybe i'll see some of you at the social lunch
