1. Follow through,
2. Care about learning from your mistakes,
3. etc, etc!!
Good luck...relax, and also learn if the Company and the pilot lifestyle can work for you...especially if you end up in the 747 based in ANC for a year or two.
As for class dates, I have heard (and actually it was in a 767 Fleet Manager's update last month) that we are expecting between 8-10 classes (historically we run a class every three weeks of about 10-12 per class) with most being FO newbies, but some will have CA upgrade candidates sprinkled in as well.

1. Read the METAR and TAF for CVG
2. Know all airport signage you would encounter on the taxi route they give you...ie exiting ramp, ILS critical area, hold short lines, runway entrance signage.
3. Jepp charts...Runway distance available, length, width, and lighting.
4. A few V1 questions
5. A few questions about the STAR.
6. Oceanic deviation procedures.
7. A few questions about the SID in EHAM (crossing restrictions...etc.)
8. Max distance you can join localizer
9. Max distance you can join GS
10. Distance avail for landing
11. Appch lighting avail for specified runway
Im sure I left a few out as this is just off the top of my head. Also, he had blown up charts and pictures to read from. Also, for the airport signage, he had blown up charts and the question was multiple choice. IE, what would the sign look like when holding short of runway 27 at CVG, here are 3 choices.
The whole thing was very friendly and very laid back. Just relax and do the best
you can. I did well, but wasn't afraid to admit when I didn't know something.
Good luck to everyone!

Test complete! There were a good number of questions I hadn't seen recently in my study, but with some fast searching I was able to find almost everything. I'll be jumping at the phone every time it rings.
Speaking of which, work doesn't always allow me to jump at the phone every time it rings. Those who've missed calls: do they leave a number and you square it away soon, or do you lose your place in line and wait for another call?
Thanks so much to all who assisted! I feel worn out but elated. I plan to PM everyone who PMed me, but thanks to those who gave info here as well.

Also, just a heads up, for anyone that gets interviewed and/or gets hired and stays at the Marriott complex in Miami, DO NOT USE YOUR PERSONAL CREDIT CARD for anything unless you absolutely must (especially at champions, catch of the day, or the even the hotels themselves).
Almost every pilot I've talked to has had fraudulent charges placed on their card while in Miami. To me, it happened during the interview and once during training.
Use cash in Miami, the hotel area is full of crooks and fraudsters.

lonestar, sorry that happened to you. i hope your interview went well and you get good news soon!
yes, there has been more than a rash of credit card theft/fraud reported on the atlas union website so please use caution while you are there for interviews or training.
