I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at United Airlines (New York, NY) in June 2015
Interview
Applied online. The next day I was sent information on completing online interview. The online interview was so-so ; I've never done an online interview before so I didn't know what to expect. A few days after completing the online interview I got an e-mail requesting that I come to a group session. I flew to Houston for my group session/interview. The group session began with two flight attendants telling us more about the position and what to expect. They ended the session by taking questions. After the Q&A period was over , we were called one by one to interview with 2 flight attendants. My interview went very well , I didn't feel as if I was under pressure. The two that interviewed me were very nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You're the lead flight attendant on a short flight. On every United Flight it is required to offer beverage service. Your partner flight attendant refuses to offer beverage service... What do you do ?
the face to face live video interview with a HR personnel. I collected all possible questions from reddit to glassdoor and formulate my answers and thought they're going to ask the same questions but they didn't. The HR kind of tell that I have a ready made answers so she stirred the interview differently so my answer will be organic. Thankfully I passed this 30 minute interview. The interviewer did not look interested because she is multi-tasking but best believe she is listening to your answers.

Can you tell me about a co-worker you had to work with but didn't get along with?
Its a multi-step interview process. First a resume submission and a questionnaire, then a pre-recorded interview with a few questions. I was asked this during the pre-recorded interview. Waiting for my live virtual interview!
I’m heading to the F2F interview in TX. Every step so far has not been difficult for me. I also have no prior knowledge in being a FA. The hardest part so far is probably just the nerves and anxiety. Just prep well, do some research, have some basic questions and answer prepared so that even if they ask a different question you can possibly use one of the scenarios of another question and tailor it to the new one.

Tell me about a time you made a commitment to someone that turned out to be harder than you thought?
