RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at United Airlines full-time (More than a year)
Pros
I started working for UA since February 2017 and I am absolutely loving it. This is my 4th airline to work for as a flight attendant and the people here are the biggest reason I chose UA to work at until I retire! I am overwhelmed by the welcoming atmosphere and all the fun we have on flights and layovers.
Cons
Depending on your base you might have to be on straight reserve for a while.

I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at United Airlines (Chicago, IL) in May 2016.
Interview
Phone interview then in person interview. Phone interview was about half an hour, conversational but structured with behavioral interview questions. In-person interview in Chicago was with two separate sales managers - both very nice guys! Similarly conversational but with behavioral structure.
Interview Questions
- Typical behavioral: tell me about a time.... 3 Answers
