Both will definitely cost you the job.
The UA interview was genuinely a pleasurable experience once I got over the nerves. They clearly want you to be there, so don’t give them a reason to turn you down.
This is probably the first real post I’ve seen from this poster… So, I’m shocked to say that I agree with this. It’s a fine line to walk, hence the need for real interview prep with a company familiar with the specific interview process of the airline you are interviewing for.
