I applied online. I interviewed at United Airlines (Koreatown, Los Angeles) in Jun 2026
Interview
It was streamlined and honestly a very easy process. The company kept you up to date on your application and made it known what part of the process you were currently in.
I applied online. I interviewed at United Airlines in Oct 2025
Interview
First, they asked me to introduce myself. They asked me about my research first and then asked me about three technical questions. Lastly, I asked them questions about their team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to model their airline problem. An airline operates three aircraft on a daily route that starts at airport A, flies to airport B, then to airport C, and finally returns to airport A. Fuel can be purchased at each airport, with unit fuel prices f_A, f_B, f_C.
For each flight leg, the aircraft needs a base amount of fuel G. However, carrying additional fuel increases fuel consumption: if the aircraft carries more fuel, it burns extra fuel due to the additional weight.
Formulate an optimization model to decide how much fuel to purchase at each airport in order to minimize total fuel purchasing cost, while ensuring that each aircraft has enough fuel to complete every leg of the route.

I passed the process until the virtual interview where I received the tbnt 2 days later I wish they could give us some tips about the things we should improve or reasons for not being chosen, I would love to improve myself on whatever the reason for not passing but overall a really good interview
