How about:
'what do you think about our flight ops manager?'
'what do you think about our flight training manager?'

Two real life questions on in-house interview for changing type.
Believe it or not.

I was interviewed by Virgin in early 90s. On the application form it asked if I knew any pilots working for Virgin. I did and answered accordingly. At interview The conversation went something like
"So Mr Bananas, you know Captain Bloggs at Virgin?"
"Yes, I do."
"So, if we asked Captain Bloggs what he thinks of you, what do you think he would say?"
Probably, the most difficult question I can remember from any interview.

Probably explains why you did not get the job as they asked your supposed mate

Ah MC, My mate did indeed give me the seal of approval and I was invited back for the next phase of assessment some weeks later. In the meantime I had accepted another offer.

The simple answer is to turn it around and say, " It would be nice to see ourselves as other people see us, and its not for me to say"
