Not sure about the Unsat...you would have to ask someone who has already been through training.
What to study? Jepps (KNOW THEM!!!), RVR, IFR 121 regs (all the questions in the Eagle interview are based on flying a jet pt. 121, so be aware of that, they don't care about pt. 91 rules), Arrival/Departure procedures, Enroute Charts, Lost comms IFR, Holding, speed limits etc... Hit the ATP written book hard. Don't worry about the "refer to" or "performance chart" questions.
They basically said you NEED to be up to speed on IFR procedures before you get there...they don't have time to teach you that stuff, they are just going to teach you the aircraft (#1 reason for training washouts- not IFR current, lack of committment)....if you go in not 100% IFR current the Sim will eat you for breakfast! For the interview they want you to be able to walk them through a flight from point A to point B in bad weather, 121 environment, and know all the rules about doing the flight...that is basically what they are looking for.
I would DEFINATELY go out and get IFR current before interviewing...you will NEED it to pass the interview SIM ride....not to mention training.
