An open house is the first step in the interview process. There will likely be an information session, followed by a group interview. The group may be divided into smaller groups where they'll be given a situation/problem to solve/discuss. During this situation the applicants are observed to see how they interact with others. Does an applicant not say a word? Overbearing and domineering of the group? The whole point is to work together, and not be either a non-participant or a bossy tyrant. Depending on the airlines practices or hiring needs, they may do one-on-one interviews that day, or they may be called back. Tell her not to be discouraged if she isn't hired on the spot, or isn't given a second interview that day. Some airlines do call backs, and it can even depend on how quick they're looking to fill a class.
Dress professionally, (that is,
look like a flight attendant!). A nice suit, controlled hair, preferably an up-do, and natural makeup. Have a couple copies of her resume handy. Have all the information with her to fill out an airline application. That means references, and her complete work and residential history for the past 10 years.

Flightattendants.org is good. Also, have her read my perspectives article on the jetcareers main page.
