Just read what they say to read and you'll be fine. Turbine engine, electrical system, jepps, and have some semblance of a personality. They just want good people they can train.

I hate to say this, but if the gouge terrifies you...

You're really not going to like Systems class. 2.5 weeks of a firehose of info you won't believe.

It's not that bad (seriously, you should have seen Brasilia systems!), and I can understand him being a little worried about the gouge... That whole "fear of the unknown thing". At least with systems they tell you exactly what needs to be done, and cover EVERYTHING with excellent study material good instructors.

SoakingPilot, the fact that you're studying the gouge and worrying a little tells me you'll do just fine in the interview! They genuinely want you to succeed, and the SKW interview was one of the most relaxed and friendly I've ever done in my life.

Any body else hear the rumor that they have the conference room that all the applicants wait in bugged so they can listen in on people?

Assume this, and that one of the applicants in your interview group is working on the inside. With this thought it should keep you from saying anything stupid.

I know, I know. The Systems final turned out to be absolutely fine and way easier than we all feared. It's just that we all hit that moment about 8 days in, just when you think your brain can't take anymore, that they hit you with manual performance and BTMS Inop calculations on that one day, and you think "That's it, I've had it, I can't take anymore." We all had that look. Well, at least a lot of us did.

All I'm saying is, I thought the interview was easy compared to Indoc. Then Indoc seemed like a total piece of cake compared to Systems. Now in retrospect, Systems doesn't seem so bad. But still, the interview gouge is pretty easy stuff. Draw a turbine engine. Draw an electrical system. Draw a precision runway. If you can't do that you probably shouldn't be interviewing
