Where was this one in the books?

So I got reamed on my recent interview. First off let me say dont deny reading a gouge if you have one and say its a resource (CRM). I was briefing a Jepp approach and they guy accused me of reading the gouge because I was saying things in the same order he wouldve asked them. Said I was answering questions before he asked them.

I was going on what a few friends of mine (all flying for the carrier) had said to study. Now explain what would you do on this approach. You shoot the ILS, go missed, enter the hold at the missed hold and loose comm before you get a EFC. When would you leave the hold, how would you re-enter the ILS and where? Threw me for a loop because theres no IAF. Any ideas? I cant remember if it said radar required it was a 2002 plate.

Why would you wanna try the approach again if you went missed in the first place? especially if you dont have a Radio! It says RADAR REQUIRED!
I would proceed to my alternate. Now if you have an emergency and you wanna try the approach again (Fuel or Other kind of problems) I would Climb to MSA and Fly to LGA VOR and then track outbound on R-224 to GRENE and make a course reversal while descending within the protected area and fly the approach. again, thats if I really had to!

Yeah I would go to my alternate also, but if I had to.....

I would fly to JFK and then fly outbound on the 281 radial to GRENE, then intercept the localizer all the while squaking 7600.

Flying backwards to LGA just doesnt sit well with me, either way that would constitute an emergency in my book.

Sorry to hear that the guy was a jerk.

At my interview, when asked how I prepared for the interview, I said that it was no secret that there is a LOT of gouge out there available on The Internet, and that I used as much of it as I could. She said that she was aware of it, and was glad to hear that I used those resources.
