Technical Test Questions	I memorized the 13 briefing topics in the packet they send you. I put them in an order that makes sense for the aircraft I fly now, and I made up a brief that combined my aircraft’s specifics and some airline considerations (i.e. identifying passengers that may have issue with an egress and ensuring the FAs have a plan for them). During my brief I was asked questions about the STAR (vectored off and not given an altitude to fly to; note grid MORA and query ATC). I had no EP, but others had benign issues in which they consulted the QRH. It’s about 50/50 on if you get one. During arrival, I was given a report that someone reported a 15KIAS loss on final and I saw virga. I stated that I expected a microburst and that I would immediately begin a windsheer recovery. I described the recovery for my aircraft and once I was in a safe situation, I passed the jet to the FO and instructed him to hold. I informed the FA of what had happened and made a PA to the customers. I then contacted dispatch to ask for recommendations. I presented those recommendations to the FO and asked if he had any other ideas or suggestions even though it was obvious the COS was the best choice available. He recommended COS and I concurred and mentioned that I liked it because fuel was my number one consideration.
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test?	Nothing particularly hard. Just be ready to brief your aircraft procedures for rejected takeoff, engine-out after V1, go around, stable approach criteria, etc.
