I think they ask the question several times just to see if you change your answer under pressure. Remember,, the only 2 things that DL will fire you for is lying, stealing and willful disregard...JMHO for those reading this thread who may have an interview coming up.
But I do agree attitude is everything, especially when answering the confrontational questions.
I'm with you on this and I think my answer may have hosed my interview. It was the first hypothetical scenario they presented to me and I was wrestling with respect the captain vs always be honest even in a small white lie. Instead of being adamant about being honest I played the middle of the road saying I prefer the honesty route but respect the captain's wish. I cracked under pressure and it probably cost me the CJO. Good learning experience and I know better for round two next year.
