Besides "Flying the wing" and "handeling the big jets" Does anyone have any recommendations on further reading for cathay interview prep?

"Ace the technical pilot interview" by Bristow comes highly recommended by people who were recently hired by CX. Prep book by Capt. X,Y and Z is also decent reference, but a little dated.

Other books I found helpful:
Aircraft Performance Theory - Swatton
Flight Theory and Aerodynamics - Dole/Lewis
Aerodynamics For Naval Aviators
You have the gouge, right?
