Those guys don't care that much that you plant it but if you smartmouth them, they will get you back. I am sure every airline is the same; all eyes are on you since you are the one coming for a job.
The "sim instructor" on the interview who usually flies with you - which really isn't a sim instructor as much as a sim evaluator (since they're not teaching you anything on your interview) is a former Navy fighter guy and is outstanding. Very laid back and very pro-military.
Obviously any "attitude" on your interview - whether CIVILIAN or military will not reflect well - either in the sim or the panel. That's a no brainer.
