Anonymous in New York, New York said: 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!!

Thank You for the encouragement.
Fly safe and enjoy.

Hi LR-

No problem! I just got back from a trip...hope you get this before you leave for training!

There are 1 day trips, which can consist of a "turn", which means you fly one leg (leg=flight) and turn right around and do one leg back (eg. JFK-MIA-JFK) OR it can consist of multiple legs (eg. JFK-CVG-ATL-JFK.) These trips are perfect for FA's that want to be home everynight with their families!

Layover trips range from 2 days up to 9 days. Most of our international trips are 3 day trips--where you fly for example, JFK to Kiev, layover for 24 hours and come back. We even have trips that last up to 9 days, for example, JFK to Dakar, Senegal (layover 48 hours) then fly to Capetown, South Africa (layover 48 hours), come back to Dakar (layover for 48 hours) and then finally back to JFK--for the true Safari/Africa lovers!

So, you can chose to fly to wherever and whatever length of trips you want to fit your schedule! No, you are not locked into flying either domestic or international...you can do both! Yes, newhire FA's right out of training in New York are flying international trips...I just had one on my last trip! Best of luck in training!

Hello Delta FA

This is Eddie. I have a question that maybe you can help me on. I was schedule to start on May 13, however, due to my dad passing away (Thursday) I had to withdraw. I was told that this was the last class, but due to the circumstance, I was rehireable. Due to the confussion, I don't recall if I had to wait 6 month before reapplying again or if they will contact me should classes begin. I called PeopleScout and not Delta, and this worries me. What should I do?

Sorry to hear of you loss Eddie, although I have no answers for you (and i wish i did) Delta obviously WANTS you, you'll be wearing DAL wings soon...just a matter of how soon. Hang in there. Also thank you, you've been such a help to so many ppl on here including myself.

Eddie - My prayers are with your family.

I lost 5 relatives last July all different ages from 23-80 on all sides of the family. I was close to all.

God Bless you and your family.

Gretchenb,

No need to thank me. I thank you for your condolences. This is who I am. I enjoyed this career when I flew for AA, and I get so happy when I see individuals get on and experience what I enjoyed. I know there they may be additional classes. My concern is wheather I'll be placed on one of those classes. I did not get a clear answer from People Scout. I wish I had spoken to someone at Delta directly.

Stay in touch and God Bless you.

Thank you Netski... r u in training, heading out to training or on the line?

Eddie

Hi Eddie,

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear about your father. I hope you and your family are doing OK--please stay strong!

As far as Delta goes, every situation is handled differently depending on the circumstances and the strength of your candidacy.

So what you should do, is just call Delta back (not PeopleScout) and re-tell them your situation. Ask them to re-explain your options (now that you can hopefully focus better...they will understand!)

Do not leave a message for them to call you back..just keep calling back yourself and make sure your speak to a live person!

Take care of yourself and your family...Everything will work out!

Im kinda going thru the same thing, I had my F2F on April 9th, Have not recived the NO THANK YOU email or phone call.
Working for Delta has been my dream since I was 8yrs old. I have gotten this close Im just keeping the hope alive. Lasttime I talked to peplescouts they told me my application was "under review" which I am assuming is a good thing.
I have a friend who's mom is a Delta FA, and she said it took them like 5 months to get back to her, and if I have not recived anything saying "No Thank you" them Im good it is a matter of time and to hold out if this is what I truly want.
SO we sit and wait because I truly know in my heart I will on day have a pair of DAL wings on my chest.

Airborinquen in Lancaster, Pennsylvania said: 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.

rodeorider76 - I have not gotten the no thank you yet either. they keep telling me that I am a great candidate and not to give up, they will let me know asap so we just have to keep a positive attitude and we will make it.

So back to the name Rodeo rider explain. I rope and barrel race and have 4 ranches in North Dakota I love that life style just like the airlines.

Netski

Hi DK(A)TL and rodeorider76,

It's so nice to see your eagerness and excitement to join the Delta family! I really do love my job (lifestyle)at Delta and hope to see many more enjoy it as much as me!

As you may have noticed, the hiring process has slowed down a bit, because we are waiting to see how many current FA's will be taking leaves/retiring, so that we can get a number of how many more newhire FA's we will need. We will definitely need more, soon! So...hang in there! It's worth the wait! You'll be in the sky in no time! Until then, stick around and keep your energy vitalized!...So many of us are here to help each other out!

Netski,
Funny your in SLC I just moved to SLC from Tulsa OK, Now then the name Rodeorider76 comes from me doing saddle bronc in HS and college and then being royalty for the Gay Rodeo circuit. The 76 is the year I was birthed.
We should meet for coffee or something one of these days we can talk about our dream of Flying for the BEST DELTA and talk about rodeo, horses and other things.
Chris

DeltaFA
Thank you so much. Like I said manytimes on this forum and in my interview This is my dream and passion since I was 8 yrs old. Im not going to give up, I made it this far and Im still under review and yes ohh yes I WILL WEAR THE DELTA WINGS by this time next year.
I have been told anything worth having is worth the wait. I have been brushing up on my German, and started learning French, Italian, and Russian. I also have been studying my airport codes and learning all I can about diffrent types of Aircraft that are used in the Delta Fleet so far the 777 is the most impressive to me. I will be ready once I get to ATL. Is there anything else I should look at working on. Oy Vey I have even lost 5 lbs to look more sexy in my uniform. LOL
Thanks again

Deltafa- If you could give anyone some advice on this process what advice would it be? Then for those going to training what advice would you give? Then for those that have there wings what advice would you give them? I want to be the very best for what ever airline I get on with. I want to give them 100% of me. I know what they can offer me its what I can offer them, that counts.

Thanks in advance,

Netski

Netski,

The F2F interview process is awesome. They REALLY make you feel at home and comfortable. You first will register, then you will be gathered in a room where you will be informed of the interview process. You will have a chance to stand and say something about yourself. Then you are sent to wait until you are called upon for your F2F, while that is happening, they are taking your reach, you have to sit on a jumpseat and then they take your picture. Once everyone has completed that process, you are sent back to the Delta Atrium and you will be spoken to about the life of a Flight Attendant, pay, benefits. This is the time to ask questions.

Once that process is completed some candidates are give a cjo= Conditional Job Offer. If you do not get one at the moment, don't get discourage. Not until you receive the "No thank you," email will you be disqualified.

My recommendations, be yourself, be honest, engage in conversations with other candidates, and have fun. I've been and worked as a FA for other airlines, and I've never been to an interview where you have so much fun. Honestly!

Eddie

Eddie- Thank You so much for the wonderful information. I am really excited and can't wait.

When your in training is that when they tell you where your going to be based or offer you where you would like to be based?

How much of the FARS do you have to know mostly? I know you have to know everything but is there something more than others.

How is the safety? what is that like and can you where jeans for that part of training?

Thanks Eddie for taking the time to explain not only to me but to others who read this forum.

Netski,

No need to thank me. This is the purpose of this forum. Remember, no question asked is a dumb one. We are aware that there may be lots of questions and you may feel awkward asking...not here, ask away.

To answer your questions:

I understand here at Delta that on your second week you are told what base you are heading to. I understand that they are sending new hires to NYC, however, I have read on this forum that some have been based in Atlanta. If you get a base that you don't want, you can always place a transfer request. As far as FARS, you need to know them, but most importantly, you need to be able to locate it on your Flight Service Manual. For example, you may have a ghost rider (FA Supervisor) onboard evaluating you. He/she may approach you and identify themselves to you and will ask you questions like: where are the halons on the aircraft you are flying, what is the normal reading on the POB (Portable Oxygen Bottle), they may ask you questions related to your FSM (Flight Service Manual0 to see if its updated and to see if you know how to locate the information being asked.

Netski

You need to know the context of the manual. As for safety drills, I understand that for evacs, you are allow jeans, and it depends on the drill taking place. Safety training consist of First Aid, CPR, how to use a POB, PBE (Portable Breathing Equipment) Halon, Fire Extinguishers, what kind of F.E. to use in the event of an electrical fire, etc....

Overrall, its a great experience. The trainers are there to help you and not flunck you. They don't fail you, you fail yourself. They are the best resources.

Any other questions and or concern, please post it.

Eddie

I cannot wait till we start making more classes. WE really NEED some fresh blood in the mix. i am hoping that the majority of the senior F/A's will take the buy out. Some of the seniors haven't been nice to us new hires and it's kind of discouraging. The more of the new hires we have, the happier all of the crews will be. I had a pilot kept thanking us because we had a lot of fun as a crew. There were 4 new hires and 1 junior OBL...we all had a blast!!!

Anonynous,

I am so sorry to hear that some of the seniors haven't been nice to you new hires. Remember, they are not all the same. You have some seniors that are awesome. R u on the line or still in training?

Eddie

I am out on line. The stories I hear from my friends about how they get left out of conversations and activities from the seniors. There was this one senior leader, she was mean to me and said "Shut up and sit down" I was embarrased because she said it in front of an Alaska crew. Also, she told me to fib to a first class passenger saying that we don't have the passenger's vegetarian meal. My leader wanted the mean because she's vegetarian. I said, "wait a minute, this passenger paid a lot of money and she was hungry" I served the passenger because I am pro customer 100%. I overheard her talking behind my back saying that New Hires don't know anything si I pulled her to the side 1 on 1 and told her "Hey, I respect you as a leader, now I think it's time you respect me as a Flight Attendant. We are all on the same team here. She KNEW she was wrong at that point"

Anonynous, again, I am sorry that you had that experienced. Hopefully you wont fly with her for awhile. Tell me, what are you flying? I assume that you are based in JFK.

Please don't let these kind of people ruin your career or make you think different. Not all seniors are like that.

Tell me about your line, and training.

Eddie

well i started my journey back in early february. everything happened so fast. i was told i was going to atlanta and then not a word. found out today that i'm still under review and this is the longest part of the process. so i might still be on my way to atlanta? i'm ready!

I applied online and after completion appeared thier number to call.

So, I called and he asked me 4-5 questions and that was it. He said someone would call me but it's been a week and no answer.

So is there anyone like me on hold? I'm still wondering what are the next steps if any? Also, if they weren't interested in a candidate would they let them know that they are withdrawl from the hiring process etc..............

call the 877 number back they can tell you whats going on. from my application all the way through my congratulations you are going to atlanta. someone will be calling you soon all happened in about a week. however i've heard nothing again til i called in today and found out im still in review and that this is the longest part of the process. i'd just suggest you follow up. seems like its just a waiting game from here on out.

Charleen & Cheyenne,

Delta has stopped interviewing for the time being. I was in the last F2F interview session in Atlanta and the last class is scheduled for May 13. They (Delta) is waiting to see how many FA's take the early out package that is being offered. These FA's have until May 15. Once Delta has a number, they will begin the process. Don't lose faith.

As for the interview process, all I can say is that they make it fun. You will learn a lot about Delta and what its' like being a Delta FA. They will also speak to you about the benefits and where they are sending new hire FA's.

If you have any other questions and or concern, please post it and someone will get back to you.

Best of luck and please, do not lose faith.

Eddie

well thanks for the information Charleen & Cheyenne, I did applied and got call with the question, and that was it..they told me someone will be calling me..and basically...I havent heard from then....since..lol...wow.

Dear Delta FA: I was on voluntary furlough from my airline (ATA) when they went under April 3, I applied as soon as I found out Delta was hiring, I've always loved Delta! I had my 2nd phone interview April 20 and the man said he was forwarding my info to Human Resource and that's all he said. I'm also working now as a RN but my heart is in the air and I will work for another airline but Delta is my 1st choice. I'm English only.
Do they look negatively on you if you've flown for a different airline?
I have experience on Boeing aircraft. Thanks for any insight -

Hi ExFA,

I have noticed that Delta has been very favorable to FA's from airlines that have went under. It is obviously not your fault and with your experience, it is most definitely a plus--not a negative at all!

As you may know, Delta has slowed down the hiring process, since we are waiting to see how many of our current FA's are going to take a leave/retirement package so that we can figure out how many more newhire FA's we need to hire. This will be happening very soon, so stay positive and make sure to call them back every once in a while to make sure the hiring process hasn't started up again.

It's great to see that you have another career on top of flying...you'll have plenty of time as a Delta FA to both fly and continue RNing! Perfect match! You're lucky! Wish you all the best and hope you hear something very soon...which you will! Stay strong and positive..I know what you mean--once you're a FA, it stays in your blood and will always be a part of you! See you back in the skies, real soon!

Hello Delta FA in NYC,

Hope this short post finds you doing well. Due to the fact that I don't have a direct number to Delta (only PeopleScout), I called them again yesterday and told them my situation. They checked my file and I was told that I was not disqualified and that an email was being sent to Delta letting them know of my continued interest. I don't know if I should leave it there or get a number to Delta Employment Office in ATL.

What do you recommend??

Hi Eddie,

It seems like PeopleScout has notifed Delta about your situation via e-mail.

Hold on tight...that's about all you can probably do at this point in time...

It is really quiet in the hiring department right now, since we are waiting to see how many current FA's are going to take the leave/retirement packages (deadline is soon--May 15th). And then, they will start getting busy over there, once again.

If you don't hear from Delta/PeopleScout soon, then my advice would be to call PeopleScout back, every so often, and check to see if there have been any training classes scheduled. This is probably when you will get all of your questions answered about your specific situation and the re-application process--Hopefully, they'll just schedule you for an upcoming class (when it is announced!)

You're kind of in a holding pattern until the hiring process continues...
Stick around, as you will see/read, there are many applicants that are in the exact same shoes as yourself.
I know it's easier said than done, but...Don't worry! It's out of your control right now...
It will all work out!

Thanks Delta FA in NY NY, I'll keep my fingers crossed and hopefully all of us will be in training soon.
Eddie, so sorry for your loss, hope to see you in training soon.
Have you thought about sending a letter to Delta HR? Just a thought.

Hello ExFA,

Hope this short post finds you doing well. I called PeopleScout yesterday and they told me that they were going to send an email letting them know of my situation and that I haven't been disqualified. Also, I was told that if a class opens up, I will be placed in that class.

Its' just a matter of waiting to see what happens this week with the retirement program offered to Delta 's current FA's.

I am trying to get information for my granddaughter. I wanted her to see if she would like being a FA for an airline. I see there are all sorts of "schools" but I wondered if that was a waste of time and money? She's only 18 and still thinks she knows everything, and I thought the airlines did their own training. What do you suggest she should do to prepare for interviews? Thanks, Granjudy

I feel those schools are a waste of time and money. Airlines have their own training. During the recruitment process I have never seen an airline take someone just because they had previous training. I feel it is mostly about how well a person does in the group interviews and one on one. They like to see enthusiasm, professionalism, smiles, and strong customer service skills.

Hello Granjudy,

Don't waste your money on FA schools. Every airline provides their own training. Foremost, its important that your granddaughter loves serving passengers at 30,000 and also know the scoop of the profession. This career is not for everyone. From my past experience, I have seen FA candidates apply for this position because they enjoy traveling and what not, and when they get on the line, they realize that this is not for them.

From my past experience as a FA, it is the best career in the world. The benefits are not so bad, especially if you work for a world wide airline. As a Flight Attendant, you get paid to see the world. I have seen part of the world that many people haven't seen. At one point, I got tired of traveling to Honolulu. For some people, Honolulu is a world vacation.

I think point number 1 is the most important, "does she really want to do this." Training is very intense, but you are trained by professionals.

In conclusion, don't waste your money of FA school.

If you have any more questions regarding this profession, please ask away. This is the purpose of this forum.

Take care,

OK..YOU ARE RIGHT..THANKS LATINGUYPEREZ. I WILL EMAIL YOU..

Hi everyone!! This is such a cool forum! I was recently accepted into May 13th training class!! However, I have very little info on training. I was sent an email from peoplescout but it only included traveling privileges. I called peoplescout lastweek(twice)& today to let them know and still nothing more has been sent to me as of yet. Today I told the peoplescout rep that I didn't even know what time training start, what days, how many hours...etc. She said it starts at noon tomorrow. So, thats about all that I know. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could share some helpful info. Thanks. Best Wishes to all. I will see the May 13th soon to be F.A. tomorrow!! Take care!

Thanks for that good advice. I will pass it along.

Congratulation..!!...wish you all the beest..all of those going to training on May...,
