HR Questions	The one thing that I can remember is the fact that when the retired pilots were briefing me, they made a point to tell me to be honest.

Concepts not covered by RST	I do recall having a question pertaining to latitude and longitude. They gave me two coordinates and I needed to figure out the mileage between the two. The easy part was they were pretty much exactly do north and south of each other. So I was able to figure out how many degrees and minutes separated the two convert that to miles. I could be wrong but I don’t recall seeing a question like that in the prep.
