I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at United Airlines in Nov 2012
Interview
Communication between HR and job candidates is great. After the initial phone interview, I was flown out to the maintenance base for my second. I was told that I would here the results from the interview within a week. I found out the results of the interview the next day.
