General Overview of Experience	Day one was pretty straight forward. A quick greeting and then straight to the rooms for the computer testing which takes about 3 hours. RST definitely has you ready for the testing but you completely have to buy in after buying no shortcuts. There were about 15 questions i had not seen before but the concepts made sense. Day 2, The interviewing team comes in And introduces who will be doing your SBI and HR panel. The emphasis is just relax no rehearsed no rehearsed answers and if you have made it past day one they want you to know that they really want you there. HR was pretty standard: TMAAT, logbook check, talk about checkride failure. Overall great experience! Just follow the program. It works

At my company very similar to what was explained from military aviators I am PIC when I sign for the airplane. They were fine with that. just be able to explain any questions about your log book
Technical Test Questions	Lot of questions about turbine engine components, VOR range
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test?	Can’t remember the exact question but There were questions about the VOR components and ceilings that I Was caught off guard by. And some of the engine component questions were similarly worded So that tripped me up a little.
HR Questions	TMAAT you helped a Coworker with less experience? What does professionalism look like to you? WWYD If your FO clearly fatigued and shows up to fly? Lot of fatigue questions

Is there anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process?	I felt well prepared, Maybe a few more practice runs for the SBI but other than that, nothing more i would do.
