Which at United you will likely never experience the level of chaos you likely see on a daily basis at Spirit.
It still bugs me they are turning away Spirit people…….I think you guys are a carrier in distress, not to mention on the high end of qualified compared to rest of the pool.
I also had a very hostile interview when I interviewed here. During the HR, I felt every answer I gave I had to defend fairly thoroughly.
During the break before the technical portion, the interviewer became cordial with me and I met his attitude. Afterwards during the technical he was a lot more relaxed. It's all a mind game. The key is, don't lose your cool.
But I had a straight up good ole boys interview at AA. Talked about almost anything but flying the whole time. Reviewed CJOs from both. This was 2022.
