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.
