I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at United Airlines (Houston, TX) in Mar 2015
Interview
I applied online on a Saturday and on Sunday, I had 2 e-mails. One, telling me they were interested and evaluating my profile and the second one, Inviting me for the interview process and they gave me a due date to call and coordinate the interview. I called and set the interview for two weeks from the day of the call. They sent me airline tickets the following week and I went to the interview. They had us in a conference room with up to 65 people. They had a flight attendant give us details about the requirements, responsibilities and benefits. We were then told to step out sine the room in a line to hand in resume and recommendation letter (didn't know I could bring one). They gave each one of us a name tag and we returned t the previous conference room. They called us one by one for one on one interview, while the rest who remained kept asking questions. Finally we were left alone until one by one we all left. The first interview was one on one. I was then taken into another room for a second interview which I had with 2 ladies from HR. After the interview I left. They did not tell me if they were interested. Two days later, I got an e-mail telling me I got in. A couple of friends I made in the process told me that they didn't get the rejection e-mail for 10 days after the interview. Another friend told me that 2 weeks after, he still hadn't gotten his.

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.

Question 1
Can you tell me about a co-worker you had to work with but didn't get along with?
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.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you made a commitment to someone that turned out to be harder than you thought?
I conducted my online assessment with questions about company policy, seating charts and customer requests with what is allowed and what isn't. I took my time with every question and reviewed it twice before submitted and now I'am invited to the virtual interview.
