"Airline Pilot Interviews" by Irv Jasinski is also a good one, very thorough.

Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot by Richie Lengel is a great book as well.

Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot is the Bible of technical interview prep. Read this to prepare for certain topics (i.e. FARs, VDP, PDP, etc) or even better by it a couple months before the interview and read a chapter a day. This is what I did and thankfully it prepared for every technical question I got. More importantly, I went into the interview with confidence. To prepare for questions on Jepp plates I would rent the King Jepessen review from smartflix. It is a little cheesy and a lot of the material was basic but it is amazing how many of the small details we forget if we don't use them.

Default HR Questions...

Any body know a good book regarding the "scenario" questions. Example:

1) You suspect CPT is drunk...
2) You're about to T/O and the FO says he forgot to do the walk-around...
3) You're 1st in line for T/O with 10 737s behind you. You get cleared for T/O but you (as the FO) have not completed the checklists...
4) You're 30mins into the flight and a passenger passes out...

You know....these types of questions.
Links to the book on Amazon would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ace the tech pilot interview has many inaccuracies. I wouldn't bother.
