Latinguy in San Juan, Puerto Rico said: DeltaFA, thank you so much for your kindness. I can ask you over 20 questions, being a former FA. I am a bit eager as I had a called from DAL for my F2F interview several weeks ago and I was in a business trip in Dubai. I called them and explained to them the reason I was not able to get in touch with them. I got back not too long ago and I got a call on Friday saying that they are looking forward in speaking with me and that they will set up a F2F interview soon.

New York is my base choice and I am looking forward in flying out of the Big Apple. I have family out there where I can stay with.

I will stay in touch with you. R u flying Int'l, and if so, what are you flying?

Eddie

Hi Eddie,

I know exactly what you mean! It's nice to see that you want to come back to flying...I think once you do it, it always stays a part of you! It's hard to explain the freedom and flexibility this job actually offers. I think many people actually realize when they are no longer doing it! So addicting!

As far as what I fly...well.. being based in New York...that would be anything and everything. If international flying is really what you want to do, than this is the airline for you! The variety of flying is just unbelievable!

I like to fly a different trip everytime I fly, so I go all over the place...this month I only did two trips to India and Africa...and next month I'm off to Nice, France and Sao Paolo, Brazil....so Delta offers you places that you really can't work to as a FA with many other airlines...Hope this answers your questions!

i had to take a language test...i speak french...but i guess didn't answer the ?'s right i dont really know...so they said they had to redo my app as an english speaking fa and i ahve been nervous to call them

Vilija in Monroe, Michigan said: I just wanted to say you are the bomb as far as info! I had to fill out and apply tonight because of everything you have told everyone on these forums. Delta sounds like the place I should've started out a year ago. Do you have a contact where I can reach you. I've already spoke w/ them twice tonight. You are very thorough especially for the newbies who don't understand flight time, etc. Kudos to you!!!!

That was nice of you to say, Thanks! That's what we are all on here for...to help with getting on with Delta. I really do love my job, as you can probably tell, and I just want others to be as happy as me, too! Feel free and ask any questions you may have...although I most definitely won't be able to answer them all, you will see that there are many people on here more than willing to help! Good luck and happy to see that you got the bug to apply! It seems like you'll fit in well!

ok, lets figuer this out together.
they call, and offer u conditional offer, but you have to take language test. and you took you test?

Angela said: i had to take a language test...i speak french...but i guess didn't answer the ?'s right i dont really know...so they said they had to redo my app as an english speaking fa and i ahve been nervous to call them

Hi Angela,

Don't be! There have been plenty people on here in your shoes--and got hired! The only thing I have seen with this scenario, is that the process may take a bit longer. You would've never known if you didn't try and I'm sure they see your effort. Besides, at least now you have an idea what the language test is like, and if you do want to retake it in the future, you have an idea how to prepare. Delta realizes that you at least have the potential to become a French language FA in the future.

Everything in life happens for a reason, at this point, this is out of your control. Let me tell you, most FA's are NOT purely hired based on languages--it's the whole package they look at! So stay positive and hope you hear quicker than everyone else that was in your shoes before! :)

Hi everyone...Just had a quick question that may have already been answered, but since there are over 10,000 posts in this thread i don't have time to go through them all. SO....I had the assessment and 1st phone interview with a recruiter. Got an email that instructed me to fill out the online app which I finally got completed after about 2 weeks...So, I finally got all my info together and hit "complete" on the online app and..nothing....no email, no instructions on what to do next...Is a phone call or email on the way? Is it just a waiting game now? How long should i expect to wait? What kind of questions are asked in the 2nd phone interview? Are all the current new-hire classes already filled?
Thank you to anyone who responds!

Angela,

What kind of questions did you have on your French test?

I'd appreciate the help! Thanks, and good luck with your offer.

DeltaFA in New York, New York said: Congrats Emeitalia! You seem to be on top of things already! No wonder Delta chose you! (And many other reasons, too, I'm sure!) I am so excited for you! It brings back so many wonderful memories of training--I really enjoyed it alot! You will meet many amazing people, that you will bond with throughout your journey together! Study hard and enjoy it--it'll be over with before you know it!
I wish you all the best and can't wait to see you in the skies!

I thought of something else...do they have public fridges in the dorms and/or the hotels for trainees to use? I'm a vegetarian and have some specific dietary requirements...I also know someone who lives in the area that's willing to take me to a grocery store, so I just wanted to know if I would be able to refrigerate my food.

Also...do you know if you're able to have mail/packages sent to you while you're in training?

Thanks!!!

Hi Emeitalia,

Yes and Yes! :)

Horray! You just made my day!!! LOL I'm just going to have my roommate ship me a box of all of my favorite foods that I know I won't be able to find anywhere else =) Whatever unnecessary stresses I can relieve while being down there the better! LOL, thanks!!!!

i went to my f2f i was chosen for a job but i speak french...so i had to take a language test a week later and failed...and they had to re submit my app and im still waiting that was the begining of march

Hey everyone, such great information here ...love it!
I am still kind of curious of how it really would work to commute from Northern CAL, to let say NYC, how much time would i need ? I guess I would know weeks ahead what my schedule is , right? and like FA NY, said, I can plan it out so
I pick my choices of trips,,,
But how does that work when you bid for your schedule and since they are hiring so many new FA, I be in the end of the list of reserve, so maybe not too many choices , hm,,just little tricky to understand sorry,,,
But i really want to work as a FA, was hoping to find a job here on the West Coast....
Have a great day everyone,,,

Girl,
I have not heard anything, I called the day Sabrina got her call and they said my Application was ACTIVE so it took it to mean a good thing.

Sarah in Dallas, Texas said: Chris,

HAve you heard anything? I have not, sabrina got the good phone call, I leave mon for vacation and sure would be nice to get an offer and then go celebrate. Have you heard from Guy? I emailed but I haven't heard anything. Hope things are good. SArah

Hi,
I think you need to call them, because what i believed you still can be hire as english speaking fa, and you can take test for next two years. you need to call them.

Hi 4nilla!

As a commuter to New York myself, planning is the most important factor in making this work. You are very right, being a new hire FA, you will most likely get the less favored (non-commutable) trips. However...

What you do have going for you, is that your assigned schedule after bids are announced every month, and at Delta, your schedule is far from engraved in stone! In other words, what you actually get as a schedule and what you actually fly are two different things! Our scheduling system is VERY FLEXIBLE, and as a new hire, even though you may get the bottom of the barrel trips, you can always swap and drop trips (and reserve days) freely with other FA's and possibly with the Delta avalable trips in the computer...so I will tell you, I rarely fly my original assigned schedule.

Let's say you (like me) are commuting...you swap your original trips for commutable ones where you fly-in the same day of your trip from San Fran, do your trip, and fly back to San Fran at the end of your trip (most international trips are like this!)--so you can go back home between your trips.

Second option is to back-up all your trips (fly trips in a row) so you can then go home to San Fran and have an extended period of time off.

After you gain seniority, you will hopefully be able to transfer into any of the west coast bases (so it's at least a closer commute from San Fran for you than NYC)
...and then ultimately try to be based in San Francisco.

Anything is possible...you just have to master working the scheduling system to make it work! I do it...so I know it is possible.

Where there is a will, there is a way...just depends on how much you want it! It is VERY POSSIBLE AT DELTA!

sounds pretty cool, just a matter to learn and figure out the bidding system,,,and dropping trips etc,
-where are you commuting from ?
-and how sure is it that you can get on a flight so you can commute, because i know that its by senority right ? so how does that work?
thats my concern i guess, what if i can not get on a flight,,,and so on,,,to ba able to catch my work in line flight

thanks again FA NY, great help!

Hello, Just applied for Flight Attendant. I Live in Ohio. What is the Per Diem rate when not in the Plane? I hope I said this right. Thank you.

Thank you for your information...I just need to muster up the courage to call...I was so nervous when I took the test I could barely function...I dont want to lose this amazing opportunity to be a flight attendant again...I have been waiting for my call...but I think I may just take the initiative I do know a girl who got a call back after 3 months but i dont know how it goes with the merger and the hiring freeze...I am keeping my fingers crossed

Hey everyone! I am slowly making my way through this post ... but WOW ... there are lots of messages!
Does anyone know the pay rate for a rookie FA?

And, excuse my ignorance ... but I see a lot of people referencing "f2f" (i even saw f3f ... not sure if that was a typing error) ... what does that stand for? Thanks everyone!

DEFINITELY Call! Everyone that I have talked with so far are so beyond nice! Just chose a quiet spot ... sit down, relax, take a few deep breaths ... and then do your best!
Good luck!

I just had my 2nd phone interview last night ... and the answers were basically ... "Tell us about a time that you ....". Pretty standard for any corporation's interview process. Just be prepared with previous experiences in your life / work where you went above and beyond ...
Of course - they are really nice and make you feel very comfortable ... so just have fun with it!
Best of luck.

Yes, do that. you be happy to know you did.

F2F means "Face to Face" interview. The one with the 3 was a typo =)

Thanks so much - as soon as I wrote the comment and then re-read it when it posted - I figured it out (and was pretty embarrassed about putting it up). LOL. Thanks again though! Have a wonderful evening ....

No problem! Nothing to be embarassed about, there's a lot to learn and the lingo is just one of 'em =) I've been walking my boyfriend through what all of it means "holding a line" "reserve" "A Days" etc LOL It's like learning a new language =)

bryrock75 in Cedartown, Georgia said: I just found this blog today, I went through the FA interviews in March, and I was not offered a position on the day of interviews. However, they did tell us not to be discouraged because it is possible they may call with job offers at a later date... well, that is true because two weeks ago they called me back and offered me a FA position. I start training on the 29th of April. All of that was to say, stay strong.. and if you aren't offered immediate employeement, don't give up! If you want to fly... you will!! Good Luck everyone... hope to fly with you all soon!

Lee, I am also in the 29th class do you know of anyone else?

hahahhaah. you lost me again. I worked as a travel agent for five years ... so things such as city codes, etc - I get ... but the FA lingo, like you said, is all new. What are "holding a line", "reserve" and "A Days" ... any other lingo we should know? Thanks for your help (again!) ...

Delta FA,

Thanks for all your great info! It is nice to here about someone who is enthusiastic about their job and about Delta! I have a few Q's I hope you can answer. What do the international trips average as far as credit hours? What about domestic? Is it hard to drop trips out of NY?

terrie in Atlanta, Georgia said: Hey I'm in atlanta now in the middle of my training with Delta. My F2F was at the End of Feb.... ITS GREAT!!!

Don't be nervous, be yourself!!!

You guys are all wonderful and I hope to meet you all very soon. If anyone wants any pointers just let me know your email address and Ill get in touch with you!!

WE ARE THE NEW DELTA!!

Hey Terrie,
I will be in class on the 29th and I dont have a clue what to bring...What are you all wearing to class daily? Please fill me in, my email is faithpippin@yahoo.com by the way I had my F2F on the 10th of april and they called me with the offer on the 18th and today called me with the date of the 29th...
How awesome is that, I am so excited...

TERRIE!!!:

I second the "what to wear" question, if you could email me the same thing at eme015@gmail.com. I was told that it's NOT business casual but strictly business attire....how flexible is that or are they strict with it? Thanks! I start on May 6th =)

Congrats to everyone going to the class on the 29th.. im still waiting to talk to someone about my f2f. so i hope it is soon.. does anyone know if there is another class after the 29th?

There's a class May6 and I believe every Tuesday they start a new class. I do not know or have read that there's a class aftere that one. I am also waiting for my F2F. Best of luck.

I had my f2f today and they told us that as of today the last class scheduled is for May 20th but more classes will be added as they are needed.

ok... does anyone know if the merger will have anything to do with the hiring or the f2f? i am thinking maybe they stoped the f2f right now :(:( i hope not but will ask tom when i call!!! i hope to join my friends in the sky!!

I had my f2f today and we were told that they are continuing to interview but at a slower speed. There was 15 and 7 of us were chosen but all were bilingual. They did tell us that they were only looking for bilingual FAs. They also told us that it would be months before the merger would be complete and that the 2 airlines would continue to run separately.

ok thanks for the info... how long did it take you from your last phone interview to go to the f2f?

Be patient but call weekly to check your status. I waited 2 months for my f2f. Good luck to all.

I was also told that if you stated in your original application that you spoke any language you would be tested on them if your selected. You need to pass the language test in order to go to training. There were a few women who forgot they had placed certain languages on the original application and HR told them they have to pass the language assessment in order to go to training.

Hi delta sky
15 and 7 of us were chosen but all were bilingual. wow, what kind of speaker?
thanks

I was told the same thing...and then told by someone at delta who was handling mky app that failing was not the end for me I just need to be reconsidered

So, I just called to check on my status and I was told that I am on the list for the f2f but not to expect a call anytime soon b/c the list is a mile long. Is this what they're telling everybody??

That sounds like what I was advised also ... Guess we just need to be patient and wait our turn (but I am so eager ... lol). I am not sure what the time-frame is right not between being told "Congratulations" on the 2nd phone call and having your f2f arranged ...I was told over the phone a couple of weeks ... but others on this forum seem to have waited months. Please keep me posted if you hear anything more!

Hello,

I called this morning as I am also awaiting for my F2F. I was told that they will definately will contact me, but was not give a time frame. I can say that I did receive a call this past Friday and when I returned the call, all the interview slots were filled.

Therefore, I suggest that if you do get a call from DAL, return the call ASAP, as they will move on.

Eddie (San Juan, PR)

I had my second phone interview Tuesday of last week, and just got a call for F2F for the next week. So that was fast. I do speak other languages, so that's probably why.
