How do you earn the trust of your coworkers?
Your interviewer needs to ensure anyone they consider hiring will be eager to build relationships with their coworkers and teams and will be able to earn, rather than expect or take for granted, the trust of those teams who are stakeholders in the culture they have helped build and maintain at United Airlines. United Airlines details that integrity and trust are integral to their work culture. This "involves being widely trusted, being seen as a direct, truthful individual, can present the unvarnished truth appropriately and helpfully, keeps confidences, admits mistakes, and doesn't misrepresent him/herself for personal gain." So, come prepared to talk to your interviewer about how you plan to earn the trust of your new coworkers while emphasizing the value you place on nurturing professional relationships.
"I feel that the best place and time to earn the trust of my co-workers is when I am onboarding. As I see it, every member of the team hasn't had the opportunity you and I have here and now to sit down in an interview setting and discuss where we set the foundation of what our working relationship will look like. So when I am onboarding, I'll come prepared with questions to ask each member of the team and answer any questions they have about me with sincerity and transparency. I'll lean on their insights and learn from every one of them with humility. I'll aim to be helpful, always follow through on anything I inherit or commit to, do what I promise to, and be honest with them at all times. I feel like strong relationships have to be built on these kinds of principles."

To earn my coworkers' trust I would live up to my promises, and I'd be honest and approachable. Last but not least I will treat all coworkers equally and with respect.
