Yangtze interview

I was recently asked a couple limitations, although it seems like theirs don't always correspond directly to airline x. Was also asked what does the takeoff warning "look" at. I hadn't studied -400 stuff in quite awhile, choosing to focus on the ATPL - so I thought I'd screwed the pooch, and actually got a "you may want to review..." comment, but in the end got the "Welcome to Yangzte River."
As far as the ATPL goes, you'll find plenty to study if you do some online searches (CAAC ATPL, here and google). But they take from the full 15,000 question bank so previously asked questions don't help much. I would split my time between that gouge and the Gleim ATP prep book. I over-studied the CAAC duty times, wx for filing, etc. I was only asked one question on this which was pretty generic. I had many (10) of the compass card questions to include 2 ADF (relative/mag bearing) questions. I knew how to do Boeing style W&B but was asked an Airbus question which I guessed at. I brought a wiz wheel (don't laugh) since some of the gouge I saw had manual flight plan examples (ETE, fuel) - I haven't heard of them asking any questions on this though, so I wouldn't bother. Luckily you should get quite a few chart chasing questions (I had approx. 15-20) which should be relative gimmees.
I got a 79 and my interview mate also got a 79.
BTW, study all the CAAC/ICAO organization history/authority stuff your searches find. Or maybe don't bother since it tends to be obscure.
