You all have extremely valuable input here - my advice is to pay special attention to dundem and joepilot's posts. They couldn't be more accurate.

It IS about YOUR process. They are about to put you in a multi-million dollar airplane with a lot of lives at stake...how will you handle it when %*^$ hits the fan?

There is not a clear-cut answer for good reason. They need to understand how you sort through an emergency situation.

There have been many people who don't pick the "best possible answer" yet get the job. Why? I'm glad you asked.... because they exhibited a good process - they showed the interviewers they were able to think it through, work with their team and come to a conclusion. THAT is something the training department can work with.

It's like figuring a descent rate question. If you pop off the wrong answer you are simply wrong. If you talk out how you arrive at your answer they can see you are on the right path of thinking...even if you get the answer wrong.

The second part to the LOI is the debrief. Can you see and accept your mistake?

Best advice is to say everything you are thinking out loud.

LET THEM SEE YOU

By the way... it won't behoove you to memorize the diffferent LOI scenarios - they change all the time.
