I think the key part of this is
OTHER duties and responsibilities. The interviewers know that you know that you've got to fly the damn thing and make sure you land it with both wings and a full set of wheels - they want to know that you are aware of all the other little bits.
British Airways were/are big on flight deck crew being managers with good customer skills. So by mentioning that a pilot has to manage the staff on the a/c and deal with passengers in a way that represents the company blah blah blah would give you a good start.
My idea of a difficult interview question is:
"What are you worst at?"
The answer of "I'm a pefectionist" usually provides an early exit.
Very good points. You should always have an answer to this cause you will look like a bit of a tw@t if you shug your shoulders and say 'um....nothing?', or you'd shoot yourself in the foot if you give a long list of your shortcomings.
My best advice is to give one minor irrelevant thing, and turn it into something good...eg...'I get frustrated sometimes when teamates don't do their job that well....but I use it to motivate them'. You get the idea.
