The interviewer liked asking the FO for suggestions and continuing the divert after the passenger recovered.

Scenario came from an interviewer’s real event; finding an altitude with less turbulence was a key add.

Focus on resources and risk management after an inadvertent thunderstorm/turbulence encounter.
