I’m wondering if anyone knows what first year UA flight attendants will make per year (without picking up shifts) based on the new pay. Would they make at least $60k/year before tax?
If I got past the ODVI for United and had a virtual interview scheduled, but had to withdraw my application, when am I eligible to reapply? Is it exactly one year from my application date OR my withdrawal date?
Also - Is United stern with people who are repeat applicants? Will I have less of a chance with them since I withdrew my virtual interview and application? They responded to my email when I withdrew with this:
“Thank you for your email. As requested, we have withdrawn your application for the flight attendant position at United from consideration.
We wish you the best in your future endeavors.”
They would tell me if I was blacklisted right?
I know this varies so much. But, what do they really look for in candidates? Is there any “biases” that anyone has noticed?
Things I know are the basics:
- Dressing like you have the job, in black or navy
- Following the dress code and wearing a watch
- Following their grooming standards for hair
- STAR method, smiling, and being friendly
- Not dominating the group projects, showing good teamwork and communication
But do they have any biases towards people that aren’t obvious?
Do you have to be conventionally attractive? Do you need white teeth? Does your weight matter? Do you make yourself look bad by being “overly” friendly to everyone?
What are the subtle things that they may look for or judge you on? For clarification, I’m not at all saying that I judge people who have “flaws” - I am a little overweight, have yellow teeth, my skin texture isn’t the best and I have dark circles… I just wonder how closely mainline recruiters scrutinize these things. I know times have changed since the 80s, but I want to set myself up for success.
I can’t stop thinking about leaving my current career and going into aviation and traveling the world. It’s a nagging feeling that persist every day and clouds my brain. I feel like I chose the wrong career. Am I meant to be traveling/flying?
How often are you home on reserve as a commuter for UA?
I need help choosing my bachelors program! Please don’t come all up in here dooming about AI, either.
I am graduating with my associates in software development this year. I have been working as a full time developer for almost a full year and have quickly realized that I much prefer front end and web development, and I really don’t care for back end/APIs/database work. The other devs here hate front end and UX/UI and so I do that, while they take on back end work.
I need to choose a major for my bachelors next year. The only issue is, I’m not sure which of these two to go with. Computer science is probably way more dynamic and covers a broad range of niches that may make it easier to pivot if I decide to. However, I feel like I would enjoy User experience and graphic design more as it’s more closely aligned with my interests.
I’m just worried it would be a waste of money or look bad. But who knows. It may get me closer to where I want to end up, which would be some type of web development, UX/UI or product design.
But computer science looks better on paper.
Does anyone have advice?
I am considering using my HYSA specifically for a 6 month emergency fund. I am curious as to what everyone else utilizes them for.
Aside from the pay, I don’t really understand why people want to go mainline so badly. I am trying to weigh regional versus mainline currently and:
- Regional doesn’t take as long to get seniority
- It would be easy to make your schedule work for you sooner allowing for more time off to use your benefits
Mainline you spend years on reserve and more years on top of that waiting to have the seniority for a decent schedule. The “mafia” as they say closely guard internationals, so your only hope seems to be getting lucky with crew scheduling on a reserve day.
They do have better priority when flying standby, so I do see that as a plus.
So - why the determination for mainline? Is there something I’m missing? Aside from the pay?
Looking to see which, if any, cards allow you to earn based on paying your mortgage or getting cash back
When I’ve casually brought it up in conversation with friends and family, I get so much judgment and hardly ever anything positive. They always tell me why I shouldn’t do it, or they just try to tell me I’d hate it, or they act like it’s dumb.
I don’t understand why people react this way. Is it because they cannot fathom having a job like that themselves? Is it jealousy? Is it because they don’t have respect for customer service roles? I can’t even tell.
I am met with a lot of negativity from those closest to me. I don’t even know how to shut it down lol. It’s like everyone thinks they know me better than I know me.
I am looking into WITCH companies as I have read that they hire worldwide. I am American, but I am looking into options that would allow me to work as a software dev on nights, weekends, and possibly little to no restrictions on work location. Is this a good option to dive into?
Hi everyone! I am a software dev from the Dayton area. I have almost a full year of full time experience under my belt in govtech and will be earning my associates in software development this year.
I am here to ask if anyone knows of local companies who either hire contract positions (preferably 1099) OR companies that are either hybrid or remote (doesn’t matter really) that are flexible with WHERE you work.
Before anyone jumps me, yes I know I don’t have a ton of experience right now. I am just casually looking to see if there are any local companies who this may apply to for when the time comes. Just looking to do some research.
I’m interested in picking up a second job that requires travel twice a week and being able to be flexible on hours (working nights instead of days) or working weekends instead of weekdays is kind of what I’m getting at.
I am a software engineer working for local county government. I get really great benefits working here (free healthcare, 12% match in public retirement system, a good amount of sick days and PTO etc. I’ve also spent around $15k for my college degree to get here.
But I just can’t kick the desire to be a flight attendant. I dream about it at night (literally).
I’m so tempted to quit my job and become a flight attendant, then come back to it if I can find a remote contract role.
I just miss talking to people, having friends at work, I miss the unpredictable changing schedules that force you to go with the flow… and the flexibility in schedule would do wonders for me too…
Some days I just want to quit. I feel this pull in my heart. I am so torn. I need the money here ($62k/year salary) but I know I could make that and more with a major.
Idk. The only thing that sucks is I have to commute, but if I worked for my brother’s airline (he’s a pilot), I could just stay with him before my trips since he is near the DC area.
For those who are into optimization: Which ecosystem is a part of your build? Why did you choose one particular ecosystem over another? Or if you have more than one, why?
I’m talking about people who have Chase Trifecta, Citi Trifecta, Amex Duo, etc.
I’ve never seen this bug before. I live in Ohio. Including legs it is half-dollar coin sized. Two inch antennae. This is NOT a cricket.
If I open a shop where I sell prints/posters of my original artwork and photography, how do I prevent thieves from reproducing my work?
Do I need to create an LLC? Do I just need a watermark only? What do you all do?
How do I keep my work front being fed into genAI and reproduced?
In addition to my Etsy I do plan to create my own website also, with the same “shop” name.
I am curious as to where you have had the most luck with buying used lenses. I am unsure if I can trust eBay or not (I don’t want to get scammed) or if you buy from people locally or what your go-to sources are. Any advice?
Had to pause for awhile due to paying for college and buying a home but proud to say today marks my journey to 10k!
I always thought airline credit cards were something rich people/business owners did but I’m curious as to what perks they have and what the benefits are. I know they give you lounge privileges and you can earn miles for being a loyal customer. I’m just wondering if this is a good option for someone who travels once every other month or if it is best geared towards business travelers.
I have a 401k from my old employer that is worth around $3k. It’s just sitting there. Is it a wise move to move it into my fidelity Roth IRA? What should I do with it and what are the pros and cons to each option?
