attendant positions,” said Jane Allen, senior vice president, Onboard Service.
“We received more than 7,500 applications via our website, seven times what we
expected on the first day, and we identified more than 2,600 that were best
matches for the attributes we are seeking.”
  “We’re already conducting screening interviews today in Washington and
Chicago, and we’ll begin final interviews at United’s world headquarters
Monday, Nov. 21,” said Randall Rotondo, managing director of Worldwide Human
