Our group had different questions. Recommend thinking about it more broadly - they want to know how do you handle confrontation/stress, how do you work through a problem (do you problem solve starting at the lowest level, or do you skip straight to the nuclear option), how do you communicate with/lead people, do you stick to your guns when challenged or do you roll over and let something slide when pressured (regarding disagreements related to SOPs, safety, etc.) Have those big picture topics framed in your mind and be ready to describe directly/indirectly how you personally address them, and the tools and thought process you personally use.
For story time, the ironic thing is I had so many ready to rock based on interview prep and didn't use a single one because they just didn't fit the exact questions right, but I also found it very easy to immediately talk about a story during the interview; don't overthink it, you're telling them a true life story, which means unless you're making something up on the spot, it's actually very easy to recall and tell.
Just be yourself and be honest; I found the entire process far more relaxed and welcoming than I anticipated (misconception due to reading BS negative stuff on the internet). It was a nice conversation with two other pilots and a HR rep, not an interrogation. Everyone in my group who got CJOs concurred with that general assessment. Good luck!
