FWIW a quick Google revealed this weighty paper:

No need to read it all, AFAIK most airlines teach this now, but if you are completely unfamiliar with the term NOTECH (perhaps more relevant to someone looking at this thread as an prospective FPPer) then the sections from "Structure of the NOTECHS" and most especially the tables describing the various categories gives you a bit of a clue.

That said I think Chief Brody summed it up rather well - it's a big airline ( like many), you rarely fly with the same person more than a handful of times in your career, so you need to be able to establish a working relationship quickly, one that's going to see you through the trip/tour. If you're carp at working with folks then knowing the NOTECHs inside out won't help, but it might be nice to know one or two of the concepts (and key words) if you're pitching up for interview/sim assessment.
