Considering that many of the positions require extra hours, especially when flight attendants are frequently away from home for days at a time, a life in the airline industry can often put an extra strain on one's personal life. Your interviewer needs to assess how prone you would be to burning out on the job or whether you would thrive in such a lifestyle. They also aim to determine what measures you take to balance your work life and your personal life, preventing one from negatively impacting the other.

"I make friends wherever I am. A personal goal of mine is to be as cultured as I possibly can be. I accomplish this goal by making friends everywhere, globally. Part of maintaining my balance is by feeling at home wherever I am in the world. So if I fly somewhere on the job and am there for a few days, that gives me more time to spend with my global family."

United advertises that they invest in helping their employees with their work-life balance. But they want to ensure you are willing to make an equal contribution to ensuring your professional and personal life are balanced as well. "Your physical and emotional wellness is our top priority. You have the opportunity to join social, athletic, or activity clubs around the world, or even start your own. You never know where your adventures may take you or the connections you'll make."
