Im guessing you're a FA. You do not understand the point and unless you are a pilot and understand the nuances of the job, there is no reason you should have any say in whether or not an individual is hired to fly an airplane. Following your train of thought maybe rampers and gate agents should sit in on FA interviews because they are the ones who have to work with you.

What you say is less important than how you say it.

As long as the flight attendant has been properly trained to interpret those cues, it doesn't matter. You guys just don't like the idea of it because it hurts your ego, and that may be just the reason they are there, to see your reaction when you hear them introduce themselves as a flight attendant.
I just read the minutia you spewed out earlier. Are you kidding me? FAs are looking at body language during an interview to see if someone is lying. Who are you, Detective Tubbs? Get over yourself. Again FAs do not belong in the pilot interview process. Period.

...and get the coffee ready

Lol that idea sounds almost as effective as the TSA's behavioral recognition program.

They are judging looks, period. Just like if I were on the FA hiring board. No different. It's good thing I am so devishly handsome, I say bring em on!

You obviously don't know much about interview techniques or the JetBlue interview specifically. Do a little research, you might learn something. There are specific words and phrases that indicate untruthfulness. JetBlue interviewers have been trained to look for that sort of thing. You don't have to be a pilot to recognize huge egos either. In fact, a flight attendant may just be the perfect person to look for that.

Say what you will about the interview process here, but it does a pretty darn good job of hiring a specific type of person. Most of us fit together pretty well. I have yet to fly with someone that I wouldn't go get a beer with at the overnight. I'm not senior enough to fly with the "horrible hundred" though.

Get over yourself. Check your ego at the door. Jesus, some of you guys are insufferable. I hope you aren't already through the process. If you are, I guess some bad apples slip by.

You're still missing the point, and still an egotistical jerk. What a surprise.
