Let's say you get brought on, and it's clear that you aren't a fit in the first two weeks. They still have the rolodex of other candidates they picked -- they could easily extend an offer to #2. Flight + hotel should not be a deal breaker for a well-funded business or one with access to a lot of capital. If you're bootstrapping, it could be an issue, but I don't think those startups tend to hire people out of town.

>they could easily extend an offer to #2 And #2 could easily have already accepted elsewhere. Or otherwise no longer be interested. Hiring is HARD. And doing it not poorly is often the biggest hope: hiring well is exceptionally difficult - a couple hours of forced interaction in a manner that will never happen again is a pisspoor way of doing it.
