United Airlines is one of the largest airlines in the world, with over 88,000 employees and a fleet of over 700 passenger planes traveling to over 340 destinations. With all the disruptions to air travel in recent years, they now more than ever need to ensure every member of the United team is willing to do their part in ensuring operations run as smoothly as possible. So they are looking for candidates who understand "punctuality and maintaining reliable attendance are essential functions of the job." Provide your interviewer with examples of when you supported your team, exemplifying your willingness to go the distance in times of need.

Yes, I am a very dedicated employee. I always leave an extra 30 mins early so if I'm not early I'm always on time. and I'm always flexible and willing to work on holidays or any shift that is given.
