Consolidated duplicate mask-refusal scenarios. Key point: collect facts before escalating, then divert if the cabin threat becomes physical or unsafe.
This was paired with a behavioral disagreement question and an ILS/91.175 plate review.
Straight medical-arrival CRM prompt.
Evaluator focus was CRM thought process and using all crew members, not a single scripted destination.
Board-style group CRM. They wanted communication, asking the right questions, and interaction under cascading problems.
The pasted answer specifically emphasized using dispatch and involving passengers appropriately.
Missed learning points from the report: ask ATC for the closure estimate and consider holding for time before committing.
Evaluator points: new FO workload management, FA notification before PA, concise chart briefing, and LDA lookup from the correct Jepp page.
Primary signals: go missed, hold, checklist discipline, fuel awareness, and asking which gear is malfunctioning.
Specific interview point: when asking for medical services at the gate, know that dispatch can provide or coordinate the actual gate.
Basic 2-in/2-out destination-closure scenario.
The interviewer wanted three reasons Ontario was a poor choice: terrain, too little setup time, and being off the normal route.
This duplicate appeared in two attachments; inserted once. Key answer: life-threatening medical emergency is time-critical and 10,000 feet may help...
Important point: do not cancel the medical plan just because the passenger temporarily improves.
Evaluator emphasized the captain handling communications directly rather than relaying everything while flying.
The exact expected altitude was 10,000 feet so the aircraft could move faster to the alternate.
The interviewer liked thinking beyond nearest airport and considering taxi/medical access time.
Core CRM point: do not continue an approach below legal minimums just because the captain wants to.
Good scenario progression from monitor-and-continue to emergency-divert decision.
Evaluator feedback: passengers may assume the worst during a divert, so explain enough when the issue is not aircraft-related.
