Are we talking interview question, or real life?

Defer the light per the MEL

Which is, of course, the same answer. Nobody has ever, nor would they ever find it in the hub.

Depends on the airplane. Some can't be deferred.

In an interview, answer is simple: call maintenance. If they say that it can be MEL'd, then MEL it. If it's a no-go item, then you don't go. In an interview, they aren't looking for someone to say the they'll be a "team player" and look the other way. They want to know that you're a guy who follows the rules.

I lol'ed.
I've seen this on some gouges and to be honest, I've learned a lot about forming an appropriate thought process from other topics such as the Captain smells like booze. So I thought I might ask about this one.

What does your MEL say?

It says to defer the captain until the captain no longer reeks of booze!

My nav lights don't burn out. Mystery of the universe.

I guess you commute!
You guess right, but honestly I haven't had an FO approach me about a burned out light in years. I have FA's tell me we have burned out emergency lights more often than burned out nav lights. Mx does a pretty good job here.
