In the process of preparing for my CX interview and had a couple of Qs:

1. What is more important during landing? Reverse thrust or spoilers

I would think spoilers except if landing on contaminated rwy.

2. What is special about the fuel system in a A340-600?

with the 340 fuel system, probably that it pumps fuel into and out of the stabilizer tank to keep the aircraft near aft cg to increase efficiency.
That is from memory (I never flew the 340).
Jumbo just transfers the fuel from stab tank to the centre tank at a certain level of centre tank fuel
