FO Upgrade Interview..Boeing

Hi there!
Could anyone who has done the FO upgrade interview from the 400 fleet possibly PM me to give some indication of types of questions asked etc? There are a few of us approaching it and a heads up would be appreciated!
Beers in return!
Cheers!

Mate forget Pprune, there are lots of guys/girls ahead of you that could give you the required info. Just look up crew direct and make a call or two.
Not too hard is it?


Just look for any new JF/O on the 777

Upgrade interview

Lets waste another 2 months studying up on the aircraft type we're about to leave shall we? Absolute and utter nonsense and waste of time. Just another load of Cathay bollocks.

'Wraith,
The company I guess don't want to waste their money and training time on slackers and angry ants. Fair enough.
Sooo; there's some limitations/ recalls pertaining to aircraft type. Stuff you probably have a handle on anyway.
The rest is enroute, vol2 pt 2 operational stuff to ensure you haven't just been along for the sandwiches. The questions are usually scenario based, obviously there may be a need to utilise type knowledge if appropriate [eg emergency descent O2 profile].
It is not easily failed.
As fortune would have it, it appears hostile23 is not running the show. B744 ETOPS questions anyone??

Yeah I have an ETOPS question for the B744. Whats, 2-eng running (or running! - trick question ehh, mate!), the inflight reduction of abnormal fuel required requirements?

Most airlines employ, and interview, pilots as potential future commanders - Cathay on the other hand - employe S/Os.. One step ahead! Yep - right - yep.
