Interviewers want to make sure you will play by the rules. If you think you are doing the company a favor by dipping below minimums, hiding a drunk captain, or flying a broken plane, you are incorrect. The days of shady regionals are over and there is a media spotlight waiting for the next airline to make a mistake. Doing a flight with a missing nav light might seem minor, but if the media ever got wind of an un-airworthy plane flying passengers, the negative press gained will do much worse than annoying a plane full of passengers and delaying their flight.
Same points ... just he was more blunt and to the point, lol
