UAL CEO said he uses this hiring tactic to vibe check job candidates

Gotta watch how you use the word 'cake' these days. it's like walking up to a food truck and asking "You got any Tortas today?" before the conversation gets all weird! LOL

I'm going to need at least a semblance of explanation. I like carne asada tortas, especially with a slice of avocado rather than guacamole. Please elaborate. I just want a sandwich and I'm not aware of the "secret" menu.
 
Torta is a certain… "Euphemism", just like Cake. But Torta's have cake! :)
 
When I used to help out with interviews at JetsuiteX there was an evening social at the end of the day, with light refreshments and an open bar. It was very generous of them, but you really got to see everyone's true colors when the guard came down in a more informal setting, and a couple of beers in. A lot of the hiring decisions were made at that event and it was an important part of the interview process. Like you guys already said, the good and the bad came through much more clearly. I still remember my evening social when I was a candidate. My main worry is that everyone seemed like a bunch of cool surfer dudes and I'm as nerdy as can be! I guess they must have liked me anyway because I got it in the end.

I'd love to get back into doing interviews, but don't know how competitive I'd be since I've only ever been a regular line pilot since starting at Southernjets.
