Initially had an on-campus interview with a current employee in the Revenue Management Department. Received an email a couple weeks later telling me I moved on to the next round of interviews. The second round was at their HQ in Chicago. There were about 10 other candidates that day interviewing as well. We were separated and had three different interviews with 3 different Revenue Management employees, each lasting around 45 minutes. We also had to take a skills text that was an hour long. Afterwards, all the candidates got to ask candid questions with recently graduated/employed Revenue Management employees.

I met the recruiters at my university's career fair. Eventually made it to the final round interviews in Chicago. Overall, the final interviews seemed unprofessional. Of the group that was interviewed, no one who had any actual airline experience and knowledge of airline pricing/revenue strategy were hired. The only person hired was the one who did not care for the job, did not know anything about the industry, and said they came just for the free trip to see Chicago. After finding out the results, the rest of us are confused and dumbfounded as to why or how such a decision was reached. All we can conclude is that current employees/management do not want to risk being passed up for promotions by hiring candidates from top business schools with actual airline industry knowledge. Furthermore, the recruiters never reached out to any candidate, and we had to inquire about the status of our applications in order to be notified we were no longer being considered. This department is unprofessional, and frankly, I'm glad I now have the opportunity to go to an airline that actually values talent.
