I applied to United Airlines for the flight attendant position back in the summer of 2011, when it was a Continental Airlines position. They got back to me in February of 2012 in email saying that they were conducting interviews. I was flown out to Dallas (if you live more than 300 miles away they will fly out) on the last day of their interviewing, which I kind of regret because I feel like the interviewers got lazy and switched up the process.
The process was supposed to be a presentation, a group interview (where we could show our skills and knowledge), and then a 1:1. Instead it was just a presentation and a 1:1. They asked questions like: why do you want to be a flight attendant, why did you leave your last job, finish this sentence: "I dont like when customers ____", what did you like the most about your last job and what did you dislike the most about it? I feel like it was very rushed and there was no way from the pace of the interview (which lasted about 7min) that they could be able to decide if you were a good fit or not.
So they originally said to be prepared to stay there all day, and everyone was only there for a max of 1 hour. Which is another reason why I felt that they switched it up and rushed everything on the last day and that some people were not given a fair shot at the job.
I was not offered the position, but at this point I honestly didn't care because when they discussed the salary it was really laughable: $20,000 your first year AND you dont know where you are going to be stationed until after training AND THEY MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT THEY WILL STATION YOU IN ANY STATE THEY WANT! It seems like a leisure job, not a career to go into expecting to get paid or to use anything you got a degree for.
