I've never flown one but I have a job interview with a cheap airline on Monday and I'm hoping to bluff my way through.

If you are successful in your application, may I suggest that when negotiating your remuneration package, you opt for the free life insurance rather than the superannuation scheme.

I think there may be some people here who have misunderstood the question. Most likely this person is a fully rated pilot with years of experience who got an interview with a company that flies a type of airplane he or she has never flown. This person is simply asking where one can get his or her hands on a manual so that during the interview if any questions come up about the systems of the 737-400, they can be answered properly.
Most of you probaboly do not realize how different an airline interview is from a typical interview. Most companies dont care awhere you spent your childhood or what you do in your free time. They want to know that you have the skill to fly their $40 million airplane safely. A large portion of the interview, therefore, is technical knowledge. You will sit in front of a panel of experts who fire questions at you about regulations, aerodynamics, systems, or whatever else they feel like asking. This particular company may prefer people with prior experience on the 737-400, so even though this person has never flown one, he or she can prove they have the initiative to go out and learn an airplane solely for one interview, and the intelligence to answer technical questions about an airplane they have never flown. It happens quite often...mostly with the 37 as it is a very common airplane.
that said, however you would still probably be better served to call Flight Safety and go get a type rating

I am sure that if you have an interview with an airline, cheap or not, then you should have the ability to see training manuals for the interview you are going on! My husband wanted to fly but it costs about £60,000 to get to this stage - with A LOT of training you would be able to get the training materials for this!
What a dodgey question to ask in these uncertain times!

Which airline? I'm curious, as I'd like to steer clear of it, just in case you do get your hands on that operating handbook....

Don't appreciate your sense of humour pa28-180f. You obviously didn't loose someone close in 9/11

they don't ask you about that stuff. It's all about the voice. Just make sure you can sound both nonchalant and professional at the same time; all will be well.
Looking forward to flying with you...
