Sorry Buffet if your friend didn't find the interview style to his/her liking but all candidates have to be given a similar set of questions, partly in order to avoid any perceived unfairness in the form of favouritism and also to ensure no form of discrimination exists. The prepared sheet you mention is just a way of ensuring that.
As for F/O's instead of Line/Training Captains participating as interviewers, what's your friend's problem with that? Indeed when a Captain applicant is being interviewed who better is there to assess that person than the colleague who will later have to work with them! I believe several of Go's F/O interviewers are female, does that unsettle your friend even more, if so why
