Stockholm syndrome.
These are all reasonable questions to ask for such important life decisions.
Because they were not tolerated in the past doesn't make them inherently wrong or unimportant. Pilot hatred....not only for mgmt.

Wow! Just WOW! What a wonderful employee you must be! Such bitterness!
As a past interviewer, if you asked one of those question in an interview, you would get an X on my copy of your resume, ask two and you would have no chance of being hired , Three and you would be asked to leave and four you would be escorted from the building by two men with sidearms. Five and you would be prosecuted as a terrorist threat.

That would get an X on a resume? Seriously? You're some special interviewer. Happy I did not have to sit through one with you. Some of these questions seems quite reasonable.

Not at all bitter. I've been told anecdotally that people are being hired over the phone within hours of listing their resume online, by employers that are having people walk out during training.
As a "former interviewer".. how far would "I got a bad feeling during training and left" go?
There is a lot more to go into a career decision than whoever calls first.
Maybe I should add " do I get in trouble for asking questions?" to the list

the interview
While some questions may be logical, some come across the wrong way. The wording makes it sound like your a weaker candidate that fears not making it through training and if you do, you are not sure you could make it though an upgrade.
This may not be true at all, but the person interviewing a person asking some of these questions will not be viewed as a possible new hire.
It should not matter how many did or did not make it through training, as others have nothing to do with you or your ability.

What the interviewer really means is: "Demonstrate your ability to ask a question which will please me, regardless of whether you already know or don't care about the answer. This is an important skill for managing cranky old Captains."

I under emphasized the point that these questions are not actually for interviewers... if you can get answers from line pilots or on forums.. you are better off.. Asked in an actual interview...yes.. unfortunately.. the "do you have any questions for us?" question is rhetorical.
