2) This is a pretty SIMPLE calculation. 20,000 X 0.45 = abt 9000 pounds.

EDITED: oh ya, wrong way, that is for converting pound to kg.

Ummmm...there's about 2.2 pounds / 1 kg. Therefore, the answer should be 44,000 pounds roughly.

Question 3 & 4 is rather personal so I suggest you just put down what you think applies to you.

Maybe I'm just getting more cynical and less charitable in my old age but are you serious????

If you need to ask how to do simple coversions and explain how to answer what are typical airline application questions, then you probably shouldn't bother with CX.

Amen to that brother Kenny.
I mean, what's the difference between ATP and ATPL? Its the "L", which stands for license.

I think that knowing the best ways to answer some specific questions is good, but the interviewers, as some people say, can read your mind like a book.
So best be yourself, and think logically how and what to answer/do might be a better way for you to success.

You would be surprised how many people ask the same "ATPL" question. Although, it keeps a lot of them from applying because they don't think they have an ICAO license. What they fail to know is that ICAO was established in Chicago and is a U.N. organization, if you are in the U.N., chances are you are an ICAO member state. Shhhhh....let's keep it between us shall we
