Technical Test Questions	Followed the technical questions from Atlas study guide. Biggest takeaway is that the pilot’s experience asking questions was all 135/121 experience and when he asked me questions that I didn’t completely know as all my experience is military, I answered honestly that I didn’t know the exact info, but I could relate it to the military in “this” way. For example, I know the definition of V speeds and told him, but always used other TOLD calculations that related in “this” way. Specifically focused on V speeds, approaches, METAR and TAF knowledge, alternate requirements, etc.
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test?	Knowing the specific verbiage of 135/121 vs military.
HR Questions	Why you? Tell me about a time. How will you as an older experienced guy learn? How will you help the team? What helps you get through challenging times, not necessarily flying related?
