Sorry Hoping, didn't know the chief training pilot, present captains or cleaners for that matter. Before meeting the company at the assessment centre the only contact I had was trying (very unsuccessfully) to pull an ex-britannia hostess in a Manchester bar!
On a serious note, however, I belive that the final interviews were really devised to see how you interact with other people who you would be working with - hence the FO, of course I don't know for sure but that's what it felt like to me.
