again YRMV but I personally do believe that it is the best approach to the situation. and the Chief Pilot in the interview said he really liked my answer.

The fact that they discourage or even dislike the answer you SHOULD be giving in that scenario, tells you everything you need to know about said operation. To low time pilots thinking about applying here, just understand that they want to hear the CORRECT answer in airline interviews. Airlines don’t mess around with this. If you show up and you notice the captain has been drinking, said captain ain’t flying. He’s calling out sick. And you’re telling him that. No repercussions.

That's what the CP told me too. He says most often, interviewees say the typical 'pull him off to the side and ask if he's ok' schtick. The only thing that makes sense to me anyway is to address it immediately and directly. pulling them too the side gives them an ability to persuade you otherwise.

The interview went well....but I did receive the TBNT letter...probably due to not having any turbine time or an ATP.

Was done via teams. Got a welcome to ACC email a couple days later and I'm in their FO pool currently. FO classes are delayed as they needed to prioritize training captains first, like most other airlines right now...
