Nightstop, I ( nor my friend ) have a problem about being interviewed by a female wether FO or Chief Pilot. The point is, and others seem to agree, that one would expect to be interviewed by a management pilot. Don't forget an interview is a 2 way procedure and candidates will want to ask questions about the company, prospects, bases, etc etc. Some of which a line pilot (Fo or Capt)may be unable to answer.
