The oral technical evaluation consisted of turbine engine basics, METAR/TAF decoding, trans-sonic/swept wing aero (mach tuck, etc.), a little bit of FAR speed restrictions, etc, and Jepp approach plates and STARs. My biggest issue was STARs, since flying slower aircraft meant that I'd never actually flown one, and I didn't understand them nearly as well as I'd thought I had.

They need people just like everyone else right now. If you have a good grasp of that stuff, you'll be just fine.
Thanks a lot! I've read similar info from gouges but for some reason I thought "written test"at the interview would be something like random 50 questions from the ATP written..guess not!

Thanks for the reply again
