When you go through training here, you will be taught what you need to know via computer based training. However, as you pilots know, there is nothing better than an instructor standing before the class a telling you which buses are powered when you push the battery switch in.....etc,

Nonetheless, we are blessed to be here. Atlas is a great company. If you are unsure whether to work here or not, PM me. The rest of you know that this company is the best in the industry. For those of you who have interviewied or are interviewing in the future, best of luck to you all.

Cheers and Safe Travels

Explain the 3 biggest issues facing the aviation industry.

Background Portion:
Have you ever failed any checkrides?
Talk about your resume.
Why did you chose X school or X job or X military option?
Explain gaps in employment history.
Pretty straight forward I thought.

Technical:
What is SLOP?
What are the procedures for deviation on the Oceanic Tracks?
What did you use to study? http://www.ibac.org/Files/CNSATM/Library/MNPSA_2008.pdf
How wide are the tracks?
Jepp Charts: Where is the final approach fix?
What is MSA?
How about in mountainous terrain (1000' regardless)
Etc... Know your jepp charts
Read an international notam.
Read international TAF.
What is screen height?
Climb segments?
Climb gradient required?
FYI...I scored an 88 on the online test and allthough the questions seemed to correlate highly to the online test; I didnt get questions related to the ones I missed.

The HR questions were very similiar to the previous gouge within this thread with some phraseology changes.

Thats all I can remember.

Good Luck!
