Another easy one is cloud clearance. As a student pilot (and presumably now) did/do you bring a tape measure every flight to make sure you were clear by appropriates mins?

What would you do if the CA was flying into a thunderstorm?

These are too easy. You would say something like, "You want (me to ask for) 30 left? If he says no you press the issue about the Tstorm eventually ending up with, "Well we're not gonna fly through it so make up your mind."

I guess my answer would about the thunderstorm would depend on the situation. Did you get yourself in a suckerhole with no escape? Are you min fuel or in a situation where the alternative is worse such as a forced landing or ditch at night?

I've seen where it appears clear on the radar but bad thru the windscreen and vice versa.

I do bring a tape measure but its not for the clouds...Its to reassure myself that I'm tryly the biggest man up there at 4,000 feet in my C-172!

-LAFF

FA knocks on your door and tells you that the Captain is making advances to him/her.

What do you do?

After taking him/her in the lobby (public place) I thought about listening to FA has to say and then get the Lead FA involved.
Should I say that I try to be the mediator between the 2 individuals before I get management involved?

Invite them in and offer a massage. If they refuse, threaten to report them to supervisor for sexual harassment. It is always better to take the offensive.

But seriously, this is not your business except that you could remind your colleague that the FA is ****ed and s/he may report them. You are not their supervisor. Any more involvement can only get you negatively involved.

Hahaha, I don't know what else to say other than that made my day!

CAPTJNS is right on the mark, Safety and SOP's are paramount to an airline. In an interview situation, they want to find out:
- how you think,
- how you process information and prioritise,
- how you act and
- what your potential is.
Remember, whatever role you are applying for, a company wants longevity from its employees so they are looking at you and your potential to Command. So your answer needs to reflect your potential and you need to use all of your resources.
It does not always matter that your answer is totally/technically correct, it is just as important for the recruiter to see how you think, process information and your potential to learn and grow.

...or maybe even "put out" for desert?;)
