Interpersonal vibe with interviewers might be one of them, but in this era they're less likely to be overtly confrontational (the old good cop, bad cop game).
But even if you feel you're getting along, you need to stick to your interview strategy, be careful about opening up too much about certain things. They *want* you to open up, but that doesn't mean they're always going to like what they see. An interview is not confessional, don't spill your guts but rather have a specific tactical purpose for everything you say.
Get another interview prep.
Consider applying to other majors. UA might have flagged you with some show-stopper issue, and simply won't call you again.
The TBNT might also have been due to something not related to the interview itself. Check all of your background info that you can access (PRD, FBI, etc). I'd also pay for a commercial national records check... those aren't guaranteed to spot everything from every jurisdiction, but it's a start. Check your current employer training records. Errors happen, I've experienced that but caught it in time.
I just wanna caveat this. United asks a lot of negative questions - prompting you to reveal a time you failed in some capacity or position. While you should be careful in not telling a story about how you overran the runway because you ignored your FO’s calls for a GA, telling a non-story (ie, a story in which you didn’t really fail at all) shows lack of self-awareness as a best case scenario, outright deceit or hiding something as a worst case. Both will definitely cost you the job.
The UA interview was genuinely a pleasurable experience once I got over the nerves. They clearly want you to be there, so don’t give them a reason to turn you down.
