Delta - Been There Done That

RJ in Atlanta, Georgia said: I've done that twice - once on the Delta forum. There's just no need to get on here and be ugly to one another. All of us have managed to disagree w/ each other at some point and still remain friendly and appropriate. I don't have time for drama. We'll get enough of that once we start working. LOL.

Agree 100%!!! RJ, I sent you a message through FACEBOOK!

Natasha in Pompano Beach, Florida said: I sent the message to DELTABIRD. I've been trying to figure out my commute from FLL to EWR in case I get hired by OS...not looking good!

Natasha: There is no reserve with OS..
from what I hear. So, that means we will know our trips in advance...and be able to plan ahead for travel to the great city of "sewer-k" NJ.
I have family in NJ, and I have a beach home at the Jersey shore that's currently on lock down because no is using it. ( I spend most of my time here in SC..)
If I'm offered a position with OS...
I plan to open up that house at the beach and use it for a crash pad.
Not a bad little deal... because it is only 35 minute drive to EWR...

Mercedes,

I'm so sorry to hear about your horrible experience with DELTA. God Bless you for being so honest, and sharing your experience. If I get the big "REJECT" button, sure hope I'm in as great a group as you were in to get you "OVER IT". You've made me laugh so hard! There's a good airline out there looking for great individuals like you. You'll make it!!!
Remember the old saying "If at first we don't succeed, TRY,TRY again".

I have a question....Does anyone have any knowledge of the Public Transportation System in Atlanta? Is it possible to take a public bus to and from the interview from the airport? Did anyone happen to notice any others using a public bus? Anyway to save money...:) Thanks!

CAMI, someone on this forum said that if you take the airport's Hilton free shuttle, the hotel is right across the street from DL headquarters, you just cross the street--you're there. Hope that helps! :-)

Wow, MALTI, that would be fantastic! Let's hope we get hired, then you can start with me: the screening to make sure I am clean and hygienic--which I AM! :-) and pay my bills on time...lol

Thank you Natasha. That was very, very helpful. I will check into catching the Airport Hilton's shuttle. Excellent info! Again, thanks for your help. :)

Cami in Overland Park, Kansas said: Thank you Natasha. That was very, very helpful. I will check into catching the Airport Hilton's shuttle. Excellent info! Again, thanks for your help. :)

I would make sure that the Hilton is right across the street--not too far away. You can probably map it out and see the distance. Good luck on your FTF! :-)

MERCEDES, I too am sorry you had an unhappy experience at DL. I am also in "limbo land" with waiting--or not--for an offer. At this point, I have my sight set on a different airline so I'm not too obsessed with DL. I suggest you apply at as many airlines as you can, this way you'll have way too many distractions to be saddened by one rejection.

I just received my eTicket Itinerary for for the Continental interview for February 13 in Newark, now I 'm real nervous ;). Anyone else interviewing that day?

WOW!

Some people are just not worth responding to. I don't usually go again and again to forums where I'm not liked, but then again...I'm liked everywhere!!! LOL...LOL.... ;-)

I recognized trailer trash from the get-go! lol

Cleveland Area said: Hey there,

No prize! Thanks for sharing info. with me. We're the same age, I'm glad to know that there isn't discrimination against age. You sound like alot of fun, which airlines are you training with?

CLEVELAND - I interviewed with Shuttle America on 1/8, and received an offer about 2 1/2 weeks later. Their parent company, Republic Airways, owns 3 different airlines - there's something for everyone. Good luck to you. Women like us have a lot to offer. :)

DeltaWings ( Miami, Florida) said: Just as I did, RJ! We can't tolerate that type of behavior in here. I did the same back in the other forum with the infamous "Tito" that was so rude to Shane.

Hi DELTAWINGS! I just got an email that she's been reported yet again today. And they said that they're forwarding copies of these posts to someone at DAL HR.

mercedes in Brooklyn, New York said: A brand new Delta 'reject', I come to all of you with open arms. I got up at the crack of dawn, spent about $90.00 in car services to and from the airport,
dressed in a Tahari Suit, pony tail, the works, attractive, college grad, with certificates in CPR and First Aid, wore a smile, was myself, spoke clearly and with personality yada yada, yada...and yes, got the big 'REJECT' button. It was like American Idol. Being put in the 'loser' group and told, 'we have no conditional offer at this time, but you're still in the running'. I was in tears for a short while until some of us from the loser group hit a bar at the airport and met some very fun people who, 'scraped us off the floor' and before you know it, we were OVER IT! For all those so-called ra-ra cheer leaders who tell people on the forums, 'just be yourself and you'll do fine', I'm here to say, it's all a bunch of Horse. We were all ourselves, all friendly, all at the top of our game. There was some I could say deserved to be picked, but others were straight from the movie, 'Clueless'. Clueless is not exactly what I would want in my cabin, if I were a passenger and there was an emergency... So If I happen to get that call or email that comes in weeks later asking me to come to training (after all), I will be saying thanks, but no thanks Delta!!

Mercedes - You're in good company. Don't you worry. They (Delta) are not making choices based on the average criteria. They're going for speakers and 20-somethings primarily, with a few exceptions. There are a lot of complaints being lodged by the current f/a's about the quality of SOME of the new-hires - not all, mind you. Some of the new-hires are amazing people, but the new criteria is not what the current f/a's want to work with. You pick a couple of other airlines - you'll get picked up in no time.

Natasha in Pompano Beach, Florida said: No--she left the trailer 'cause she got tired of daddy's advances...
ooooh, M'I bad?.... :-O
I apologize to all!

You are BAAAAAD. :)

I'll tell you - when the preacher/rabbi/priest tells you to love your fellow man no matter what, that's a TALL order sometimes, isn't it?? LOL

That's right! And that's why I didn't become a nun, missionary, or a devoutly religious person. I don't have THAT much tolerance!

ypu received an email? what happened? sheesh! what can indeed do about this?

You can go to the bottom of this page on the far right side, click "Contact Us" and file a report. Several people already have. The more the merrier. :)

ahhhh. too bad delta cant find out the type of person they hired!!!!!
i guess you click "contact us"?

nycgirl in ny, New York said: ahhhh. too bad delta cant find out the type of person they hired!!!!!

Right - "contact us". I have a feeling she's going to be making some crewmates pretty miserable on trips. And I'd hate to be in training with her. She's the type that all the posts have been about when they say "stay out of the drama" during training. There's always one in every class. Tho I don't know that I've ever run across anyone who was quite so insulting to other people. But hey - I'm "cheesy", so what do I know. LOL

nycgirl in ny, New York said: ahhhh. too bad delta cant find out the type of person they hired!!!!!

Believe me, NYCGIRL, she won't make it past training. She'll get found out!

rj

you need to change your username to cheesy! ahahahahaha! i mean really. she has room to talk? she insulted all of us on here!

Natasha in Pompano Beach, Florida said: Believe me, NYCGIRL, she won't make it past training. She'll get found out!

as i said, wish delta can find out her email and call her out on it. its been done before. ive obtained names thru emails. well, thats my profession.....

You know PLENTY! And that's why what you have to say has meaning! Hopefully, her true colors will come out sooner than later! Plus, I get the feeling if she trains with ILD, she won't get away with anything! ILD takes bull from no one, I imagine! LOL

FYI - I just received an invitation to the Pinnacle Open House here in ATL this coming week. And it says "bring a friend". If anyone is interested, go to their website under "Career Fairs" and the open house info is there.

classicbella in Denver, Colorado said: Instead of blaming others for your misfortune at some of these companies, maybe some of you (not all of you) should sit back and think why you didn't get on with some of these companies in the first place. Maybe it's the interviewers who picked up your negative attitudes. These companies don't need Jurassic Park with a bunch of old gals who are old and bitter about everything if they don't get their way. I rest my case and now i'm done. It's sad that someone has to use cursewords about someone else to make themselve feel better. Then on top of that, they are in their fiftys. I'm sure their grandkids don't want to see them act out. Hmmm...this isn't high school and I think some of you graduated like 40 years ago. You can call me what you would like but just know . This is ONLY directed to those who felt like they had to chime in when it wasn't even directed to them in the first place. It's funny because it started when I politely disagreed on something and someone just had to jabba their mouth. Trust me, I will not come back on here because I don't have time.I'm busy.

What chutzpah...

MATT, you're adorable!...hehehe...chutzpah!

Natasha in Pompano Beach, Florida said: MATT, you're adorable!...hehehe...chutzpah!

Well that person has it!
It just shows class is something that you either have or you don't.
It can't be bought or easily acquired.

what is pinnacle? a southern airline?

I recently came back from a AirTran information session this past monday. It's a good company, the pay is pretty much blah compared to JetBlue in terms of working over your 70 required hours (JetBlue provides time and a half, AirTran doesn't) but its a growing company and shows promise.

I'm waiting for the call back Monday, where they told me they would let me know if I was going to make it through the process or not. They were going to interview me that same day but I had a plane to catch and I would have never made it to airport in time if they did.

They did let me know that they're setting up for their March class... and they they have about two more scheduled classes after that one. They also said that senority has recently been bumped up from 9 - 12 months to 9 - 18 months.

Also senority is not by age. It's by hire date and a random number that they give you. I hope, if I get hired, I get a nice number :P. Also, training is unpaid. You do get a compensation on completion of training -- which makes sense.

I doubt I'm getting anything from Delta at the rate things are going now.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and think positive!

Sure! Because I'll be waiting at that phone all weekend long ;)

Thank you for responding...yes there is such a big, great wonderful world out there full of opportunity!

Looking back on it now - the whole experience was pretty funny. I know British Airways, EOS and United are hiring now, however looking back in retrospect my ears are telling me - "do you really want to put me through hell" (I have bad ears)...
So I'm considering the whole flight attendant thing right now...Any way glad I gave you a chuckle...

Well, it is hell. Reserves = Your social life going bye bye.

Hey Natasha,

I wonder if you were among my group...when did you go to Atlanta? and which airlines are you looking into right now? I know JB, British Airways, OS, and EOS are hiring right now...

Hi I just wanted to say JetBlue will be hiring soon as we were told today that there will be two classes in March which we were happy to hear as that means we won't be at the bottom seniority wise so they might have it listed on the JB site but I am not sure but it is the beginning of the month. I am so exhausted passed the oral test today and have another one bright and early tomorrow morning we did get to practice our evac drills today which was fun I did mess up on the E190 when I called the capt and told him "we are outta here" instead of letting him know we are evacuating I was so embarressed.

MERCEDES, I did the 1/3/08 FTF, 7:30am, were you there? I'm looking at only OS now...going to their interview next week. Yikes!!!!!!!!! :-)
