I agree that there should be some pilot input to the cabin crew recruitment process. I also agree that we did not get all the facts with ref to the "pretty girl" that failed the selection process. In my experience first impressions actually count for very little, she may have been as thick as s**t, not a good mixer socially etc. etc. we just do not know. Okay, we all know that some complete duffers get through selection from time to time, and some who would no doubt be excellent at the job are passed over, but thats life, and as we all know life sucks!!!
