Delta flight attendant interviews

nat in Columbia, South Carolina said: Can anyone offer advice for me on how to get started? I have never had any interviews or even applied. I want to be a F/A what should I be doing to prepare myself? What types of questions do they ask on the phone interview ? I have a substantial customer service background. Any info anyone can offer would be helpful good luck to all!

Hello Net,

To become a FA, you have to be outgoing, and customer service oriented. You must be and understand the position itself. You have to be flexible, dedicated and responsible. Its not as glamarios as it was before deregulation, and at times it can be very demanding and challenging. With all that said, if you enjoy serving people, and you are dedicated, responsible and can accept challenges, then this might be the career for you.

As a FA, you primary concern is the safety and well being for each passenger that boards your plane. You must know how to work as a team and at time you may be called to be a leader. You will need to adapt to time changes as a FA with Delta, there will be times when you will be flying international.

Questions that are asked on the phone interview are scenario questions. What they want to see if you are customer service oriented. The interview in Atlanta is fun as Delta online FA's are the ones who conduct the interview. They want to see if you can think "out side the box." You are given scenarios and you give them examples from your real life.

This is not a job, its a career. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. No question is stupid or ridiculous. You need to know the full scope of being a FA before you apply.

I wish you continued success in your career endeavors.

eddie didnt know u was from PR? lol

norgie robledo in orlando, Florida said: eddie didnt know u was from PR? lol

Yes, from the enchanted island. I just got hired with Delta and I am scheduled to start on May 13, however, I just had a death in my immediate family where I will not be able to attend. I am bum out about this.

Eddie

i'm sorry to hear that eddie i'm from pr to but live in orlando fl

Did you apply at DAL?

E

norgie robledo in orlando, Florida said: yes i applied but didnt get a job offer but its been like almost 2 months and i called them and they said im still in the running for the job that i should get a call soon

I know that their last FA training class for now is May 13.

Eddie,
I'm so sorry at your loss. I wouldn't give up... after the buy-outs are counted, I'm sure they will add more training dates.
Again, sorry to hear about your loss.

Thanks for your sympathy. I called PeopleScout and I will have to reapply again. I don't know if its from the date I originally applied or the date I was interview that I have to wait.

Anyway, I was really looking forward to this.

I hope so, because based on all the information that I received at DAL, and as a previous FA, DAL sounds awesome.

Nat said: Thanks4 all the info Eddie I guess I will b watchig deltas website 2 see whe hiring resumes. Iam 39 is that negative ?

Sorry to break into the convo but I'm 39 as well and start training on the 13th. There were others older than me who were given a cjo that day. So, no worries.

Nat said: Thanks4 all the info Eddie I guess I will b watchig deltas website 2 see whe hiring resumes. Iam 39 is that negative ?

Nat, of course not. I am 40 and got hired. It's all about you. How you envolve yourself in the interview is very important. But age has nothing to do.

I wish you HeiPaaDeg the best of luck. In all honesty, I was looking forward in being there with you guys. Will you be staying at the Dorm or hotel. If you need any help, I was a former FA, and I can be of assistance to you. Remember, they will be watching every move you make. Be social and work as a team member. There will be days where you are going to be overwhelmed, but nothing that you cannot handle. Please stay in-tocuh

Thank you Eddie. Your offer to help is very welcomed!
You made it this far... so in my book You Are Delta already. Try again, I want to see you up there with us. <grin>

I'm not sure if it will be the dorms or a hotel. We are supposed to get our travel emails tomorrow. Both have good points, so whatever I get... I'll be happy. Now, I just have to learn the Marta system so I can make Sunday morning runs to the grocery store. <grin>

I'm going over the list of airport codes they sent. I have about 125 of the 200 down pat. They still haven't told me if I passed my language tests but I figure that they wouldn't start me training if I didn't pass them.

Yes, I would like to keep in touch. Not sure how often because of the training schedule but I will make that effort.

My best to you and see you up there soon!

Wanttofly, I had to withdraw. I lost my dad this morning. :-(

I called People Scout and they told me that this (May 13) is the last class for now and that I would have to reapply.

Hi Eddie -- I just wanted to send you my sincere condolences for your loss. We will miss you greatly in our class, but you'll have many friends waiting for you when you come out on the line !!! We'll see you soon !!! :)

Thank you Airborn, and though physically I will not be with my class this coming Tuesday, I will be there spiritually. Though we do not know each other, I know that I was going to bond with my class. I know that for many of you, this will be your first experience as a FA. I was looking forward in helping you guys make it, and do study groups so that we can all achieve our goal.....GRADUATION DAY!

I offer my sincere assistance if you need any help. Been through training for several airlines and its basically all the same, but delivered differently.

To my class of May 13, I wish you all continued success and I know that you folks will succeed.

You folks have a long distance friend in me...Eddie and I look forward in reapplying and going through training.

Regards,

Eddie

Does anyone know what the dorm set-up is in NY? Just curious to know what it is like.

Are you sure about this Latinguyperez? I am asking because I am in a similar position. I was supposed to be in the 13May class also but my grandfather was in hospice and just passed recently so I told them I wouldn't be able to make this class. They told me that I would be OK for 6 months and that I would be put on a list when/if their is another class. I am just not sure if they meant 6 months from that point, 6 months from when I first applied, or 6 months from when they first offered it to me. What did they tell you?

I am soooo sorry to hear about your lost. I was told that I had to reapply and that I was eligible for rehire under the circumstance. Who did you speak to?

Eddie I am so sorry about your lost. I hope that you do reaaply and get the offer once again I am sure you will be a great FA so dont give up. Take this time to get yourself together emotionally. I am still waiting for my F2F interview invite so hopefully it will be soon but however I am being patient.

Good Luck in all your efforts Eddie and stay sweet.

Eddie,

Likewise I am VERY VERY sorry to hear about your father as well. I hope your family is all pulling together to help each other out in this difficult situation you are dealing with.
BTW, I believe it was Daniel that I spoke with. Nice guy but I hope he didn't give me the wrong info. I would HATE to have to go through that whole interview process all over again. Who did you speak to?
My friend just completed the training last month and sent me the pictures they took throughout the 6 week class. Looks hard but they also had a good time. She is happy with what she is doing, makes me want to do it that much more.

What number did you called? I spoke to Shea. She was the one who sent us the email. Can you email me at latinguyperez@aol.com

I understand that they (Delta) will begin interviewing again, and I want to get the correct info as well.

Looking forward to your email.

i would like the correct info as well pong, my email is troygearhardt@gmail.com if you could email me also that would be great.

What do you mean "dorm set up in NY"? I may be misunderstanding your question...

They only have dorms at their headquarters in Atlanta because they train FAs there... Accommodation for those based in NY is entirely on the individual to find. They don't provide anything honey :)

I read sonewhere (I can't remember where) that they had dorms for $200 a month for those based at JFK. It may have been misinformation. It would be real hard being based in NY on the pay the junior FAs get, would have to find a crash pad I guess.

Eddie,
I am SO SORRY to hear about the death inyour family.
My thoughts and prayer with you.

I was also told about May 13th class however I had a family emergency as well and I had to cancel any language tests...
so I will not be in the May 13th class...

We both hopefully will be enrolling in a class soon after
May 13th...sometimes things truly happen for a good reason.

We both need to continue to have faith and look forward to great future career to come our way soon.

lets keep each other updated...I called Delta yesterday to check on upcoming class dates however I left a voice mail and I havn't heard back yet.

Take Care Eddie.

Please help as much as you can to calm our nervous.

Thanks

HELLO EVERYONE,
FIRST TIME POSTING HERE. I GOT THROUGH THE PRESCREENING PROCESS AND THE LAST THING I DID WAS THE PHONE INTERVIEW. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD GET AN EMAIL TO INVITE ME FOR THE FACE TO FACE IN ATLANTA. ITS BEEN ABOUT TWO WEEKS AND NOTHING YET. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF APPLICANTS. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY FROZE THE HIRING PROCESS? THE PERSON AT THE 1800 NUMBER TOLD ME SHE IS NOT SURE OF WHAT IS GOING ON DUE TO THE MERGER PROCESS. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME AT UNITED, NORTHWEST, CONTINENTAL, AND NOW I GUESS DELTA. I DREAM OF WORKING FOR A LEGACY CARRIER AND MAKE IT HALF WAY. PATIENCE IS NECESSARY HERE, LOL.

ON ANOTHER NOTE (LATINGUYPEREZ) I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. MIS ORACIONES ESTAN CONTIGO Y TU FAMILIA. YOU GOT THE SUPPORT FROM ANOTHER PAISANO HERE DE BORICUA A BORICUA.

FOR ANYONE WHO KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE DELTA HIRING SITUATION LET ME KNOW. I HAVE ANOTHER LANGUAGE IN SPANISH BUT I KNOW THAT IS A COMMON SECOND LANGUAGE.

Hey honey, welcome to the forum :)

The word on the street is that the May 13th class will be the last training class for a little while. They are waiting for some of the senior FAs to take the early retirement package over the next month or so and apparently will start doing more training after that.

However, this information is constantly changing (originally the May 6th class was to be the last..then they added the 13th on) - so don't lose hope there's a chance it might all happen sooner!

You may be right - I haven't heard anything about it from my Delta friends though. $200 a month is pretty good for NY too..I am paying $250 a month at mine..

Yeah being an FA is not the best choice if you want good money lol! But if you want good times - you're in the right place ;)

allyaustralia in New Jersey,

Are you also waiting for training class ??? Sorry I have not been keeping up with this forum since I have been dealing with family emergency.

If you are in training then please keep us updated with any new information regarding new classes and the strating up of f2f interviews.

Eddie,
I called late on Wed. and left a voice mail stating that I needed to drop out of class and I included my phone number.
I also called again yesterday(Thursday) afternoon since I didn't hear anything from them about my 1st call/voice mail so I called them back and I again had to leave a voice mail. I still have not heard anything back but I am planning to wait unitl tomorrow(Sat)and call them back again.

I will keep you posted and I will also email you later.

Take care of yourself and the rest of your family.
My thoughts are with you my dear friend.

Well...I'm kinda packed.. I have a lot of "piles" around the place lol!

No I didn't have to reapply...just called and said I'm ready now - and they put me in a class right away :)

And thanks for the well-wishes, you're a sweetie

Hey guys. This may help a little bit. I just worked a flight with someone who works directly behind the scenes with the Hiring Department. They said for now the May 13th class is the last class for a while until they can gather how many senior F/A's will take the early out. We really need new F/A's and I hope that we hire more fresh faces SOON. Don't worry guys hiring will start back up soon. Peace and love and good luck!!
