Actually, that too is incorrect... If the runway length/conditions are different and a different flap setting is required, V2 will also change in addition to V1 and Vr. So basically, depending on the length of the new runway and its conditions (braking action, winds, slope, etc...) all your numbers can/will change or they may possibly remain the same, depending on the situation.

I am online, so No, I didn't.
I was actually correct in my interview because the way the question was presented to me included that the performance gave the same flap setting. With the same flap setting, V2 would indeed stay the same as it is indeed weight dependent. My mistake was made in my post because I left out that (important) part about the flaps staying the same.
Just a case of some omitted info on this forum

Get those right and you'd be considered a flight risk.

I used to work these numbers for a simple airline flying fairly simple equipment. I have drawn a lot of lines on AOC charts. There are many compromises made to generate simple weight cards, and very few operators are willing to make them anymore. Certainly not any heavy equipment operators.
Everything above the regulatory relationships to Vmca and Vmcg is a variable. Everything. And be wary of anyone who uses the term "Optimal". Optimal for the engine manufacturer, the guy buying the fuel and the pilot with a couple of kids at home are often 3 different things.
