If an in-flight emergency occurred, would you know what to do? Your interviewer is looking for assurances that you're confident, professional, and capable of keeping a level head when handling an emergency. If you are new to the industry and have little related training or experience, be honest about that and comment on any other training you've completed that may be relevant or helpful.

If you have prior in-flight emergency training or experience dealing with an in-flight emergency, share your experience and how you conducted yourself in a manner in line with United Airlines' approach to such situations. Also, try to determine on your own how the training at your previous airline compares with that of United.
