Any interview prep (all the reputable ones anyway!) will help you to inventory your experiences and get comfortable talking about yourself in terms of leadership, judgment, self critique, etc. Don't expect to learn some sort of scripted rap, instead, focus on being able to talk about yourself honestly and objectively. Once you can talk about yourself in this context, any TMAAT question will be a breeze. The prep courses will validate that skill or help you to develop that ability.
Have fun, relax and don't forget to breathe.

2. The interview is about 45-50 minutes at most. I went back and counted up my questions which numbered between 6-8. Yep that's really all theres time for. The questions focus on;
TMAAT-Tell me about a time. This focuses with areas of
--Leadership, (Leadership success and failure using your style)
--Customer service story
--Behavior, dealing with your fellow employees, conflict resolution.
Type of questions I had.
1. TMAAT you had to change your behavior with someone.
2. TMAAT something didn't go as planned(great way to interject customer service story).
3. Some questions about my previous job and reasons for my leaving.
4. Why UAL
5. tell me about yourself.
6. What is a weakness or something you need to improve.
7. Discussed my previous employees organizational structure and reporting procedures. This led to questions about conflict and making changes and how it was received. I brought two items to the interview. I was involved with a re-write of cockpit checklist. The second item was a hardcover copy of how I wrote a users guide(hard card in cockpit) for flying non-precision approaches and the incorporation of HUD/EVS technology. This was a home run. You never know.
Be honest in interview. We are human and all of us make mistakes.
Sim prep. I didn't use one because I had access to a 737 sim.
Am hired and in pool. Best to you

I can attest to the interview prep course thru Emerald. I have not had any interview yet but in prep for them I attended their seminar. In short I was reading the above questions and used the strategy they taught to answer all the questions positively. Good stuff for sure.
