    Here's one:

    Are you familiar with a search engine called "google?" If so, have you ever used it?

    Seriously, though:
    try aviationinterviews.com

    Most of the stuff that I've seen is TMAAT (tell me about a time) and WWYD, in addition to the straight technical/systems type questions.

    I would also recommend aviationinterviews.com.

    The two questions they will always ask in an interview are:

    1- Tell me about yourself?
    2- Why do you want to work for us?

    It may sound simple but, "what are your goals?" I asked this one time and the guy said to get into real estate. :) I restated the question as it pertains to the department and he said the same thing.

    It really depends on the airline. Some airlines are heavy into the technical questions (UAL), and others are more interested in "tell me about a time...." questions (SWA). My AirTran interview was almost entirely the latter. No technical questions at all. Not even briefing an approach plate. A typical question from the captain interviewer was something like "tell me about a time when you had to make a difficult command decision as a captain." When the HR person came in, it was questions like "tell me about a time when you went above and beyond to help a customer." Personally, I prefer UAL's style of asking mostly technical questions, but each airline has its own style, so you have to be ready for all of it.
