How much would letters of rec from a dispatcher, mid level manager, and a mechanic help? I know an ex-blue pilot who left for a major after 4 years and I am hesitant to ask him for a letter because of the emphasis they are putting on guys jumping ship. If my other letters of rec are good enough should I risk asking the pilot for one as well?
I know it may not get me into the interview but I am guessing they would help if I get the interview. Any insight would be appreciated.

Flight attendants interact with the pilots on every flight. How often do people from the HR department interact with the pilots on the job?
FA's may have some good questions drawn from past experiences, negative and positive.

If they do or don't what's the problem with that? Are you looking for outrage if they do?

I dont think it is a big deal, but if they want to have FAs influence pilot hiring then i think the pilots should be involved in the flight attendant hiring (and not just for THAT reason
)

I would stick with the 3 letters of rec you have. They want people who arent going to jump ship, and it shows you have the ability to jnteract with non-pilots in a meaningful way. Customer service is a big emphasis in the interview process.
Yes. I had a BOS Captain and a flight attendant co-interview me. The interview format consists of two people, one being a pilot and the other is usually a flight attendant or an HR person.

I have a huge problem with it.
There is NO good reason to have FA's interviewing our pilots.
