Try stroking their ego a bit with this one. Think company culture, growth opportunity, etc. Obviously a little research about the company beforehand would lend well to a solid response.
I always have a hard time with the tell me a company policy at your current employer that you disagree with and how you dealt with it.you can dig a hole quickly with that one.

"Tell me your most favorite class in college"
I had a hard time with that one, because well, I had lots of classes that I enjoyed. I suppose it isn't the hardest question, just one that you wouldn't typically think of on an interview and it surprised me.

I agree that you can dig yourself into a hole.
I have found if I just ask someone at the company the question "why?" they will tell me why the policy exists. There is always a reason for the existence of a policy and the best outcome of asking "why" is that you learn something and then you can teach others the reasoning behind the policy not to mention make you a better pilot. Of course if you ask with the wrong attitude the question could come off bad and you may not like the results. It comes down to presentation. If you make sure they know it is to learn and teach other people about it then it really is a good thing and would actually show you are captain material.
The biggest question I don't want to answer is "What trait would you improve about yourself?" That type of question is begging for a negative answer.

Women Studies 1000, seriously. All I did was argue with the feminists, and the feminist teacher loved it. She said I was very "Jeffersonian" for asking the hard to ask questions.

talking about yourself is easy, making it interesting....not so much.
On topic: I have always found interview questions to be easy, I just turn it into a conversation, I am fairly good at BSing.

Humanistic Psychology. Attendance wasn't required, we had to come up with our own questions for our mid-term & final exams, grade our own exams, and assign ourselves a grade for the course. Easiest A ever. Incredibly, not everyone gave themselves an A grade.

IMO this quest is used when the interviewer needs a minute to write down a note or something. It is also to see what you might say that might not come out normally. Use this question to show you do things outside work. Hope to connect with the interviewer on a side subject ( they will remember you )

Why should we hire you?
"I'm a low time pilot trying to get whatever job I can get that I don't really deserve to get, please hire me...." Not that I would actually say that, but that what I'm thinking sometimes

Holy crap man. No wonder you picked a stressful job. Can't be any worse than having 8 sisters.
