My question with this response is doesn't this show the HR folks that you are willing to lie or cover up things for a fellow pilot? I know that the answer is don't let the flight leave but wouldn't they have an issue with your coverup?

I ask because I have never been on an interview and honestly don't know.
Thanks
HR knows that attempting to fly drunk is a career ender. Assuming this pilot is not a repeat offender, they would rather give this pilot a chance to seek professional help and return to fly another day then let a single lapse in judgment (although big) ruin a career.

Also, if you say the other pilot appears sick and not in a safe condition for flight, you are not lying. You are passing the buck to scheduling so they can determine how they want to handle the situation and you can continue to do your job.
