Delta flight attendant interviews

Tatiane in West Jordan, Utah said: Hi there!

Thanks! that's a very nice thing to say!

Yes, I booked the hotel before I got there. I stayed at the Sheraton, great room, with a shuttle and all. I flew in one day and came back the very next.. Don't worry about the questions, ask away!

Tatiane

Hi Tatiane,

Hi I have a question for you do they have a shuttle there that takes you to the interview location or is it like a general shuttle that goes to the airport and other locations? Thanks for your help.

Shane

it's been 8 very long, long days since my 3rd "please be patient" e-mail from Delta.

Congratulations again on getting this far in the Delta Airlines recruitment process! We wanted to reach out to you to thank you for being patient, while we are working on opening schedules for face to face interviews in Atlanta at the start of the new year. We should be in contact with you soon regarding setting up your interview in Atlanta. Thank you again for being so patient and we look forward to meeting you.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
ok, it says START of the New Year...hopefully that means prior to Jan. 15th. They must realize that we all are beginning to get impatient. I applied online 11/28 and was told about earning a FTF on 11/29....and have received 3 of these types of e-mails since then....still waiting on the phone call from 000-000-0000

you can tell them that you can't start training until XXX...I did previously when I was in the middle of college classes...but I wouldn't delay...seniority is everything

Island,

are you in the 8am class or the 1pm class? I heard there was an AM session as well as a PM session (that went to midnight)

Island in Kaneohe, Hawaii said: WOW... I just got my training packet from Delta by e-mail....this is exciting I thought the class was full for jan 07..I'm excited best of luck to you all.....and see some of you in training....:)

when did you interview island?

pi pride in Los Angeles, California said: thanks ready2fly.. you are very nice.. not like others here.. I'm still waiting for my FTF date. Your right it is stressful and frustrating : (

UMMMMM, you MUST be new here...
If you scroll back...say over a month ago...and read... you'll see that there has only been nice people that post on here.... Sorry you're feeling stressed.
It comes with the position of being an FA. There is nothing that is set in stone with obtaining the position or
if you are currently on the job.
Your call will come! Just relax and
continue to prepare yourself for every type of question. I heard that there are a few safety related questions that have to do with FAR's. If you haven't been an FA before... I would suggest learning
the basic FAR's for inside the cabin.
Meaning... when the fasten seat-belt sign is on... can you let a passenger go to the bathroom? Stuff along that line.
Definaley interview with other airlines!
Its quite possible you may like another better than Delta.

Hope everyone had a great holiday... :)

pi pride in Los Angeles, California said: so you already have your ftf date?? when did you apply.. i'm still waiting for mine : ) best of luck to your interview

Thanks...Yeah..i got my ftf date but the problem is i haven't get my flight info and e-mail package after almost 5 days waiting for it. I applied last two weeks, it all happened very fast on me,maybe because I'm multilingual. I believe they will call you soon! no worries! It will come...and then you will start to worry about the interview like where I am now! Haha...I guess all of us only feel relieved after the job offer! good luck to you too!!!

Hi there!

Some of the hotels have their own shuttle that will take you to and from the airport. However some of them will take you and pick you up from the trainning center if requested. You should call the hotel you are thinking about booking to make sure they will do that. I know Sheraton did...

Hey Island, we're both from the same place! when are you flying out for the training? My ftf is scheduled on the 4th...we might be on the same flight! or maybe not...? nice to meet you Island!and congratulations on your job offer!!!

tatiane

Thanks for the heads up Tatiane I greatly appreciate it and will keep the Sheraton in mind for when they call to set up an interview.

east pointe, ga is where the Delta complex is...I think Virginia Ave? I remember it was near where Omni held their open house

ILOVEDELTA:

If you had to choose between Omni and Delta.. Since you have the Omni offer and
probably will have an offer from Delta-
(Omni has great trips and I bet you'd move up seniority pretty quick.
Delta, the trips will be shorter though.)
AA may hire this spring. Do you have any input on how it is working for them?
I only know Cal and United FA's.

does the email come from Delta@delta.com or Deltaflightattendants@peoplescout.com?

Omni offers a min. of 2 weeks in Europe in one shot. You don't know where the next flight will take you. You can be gone up to 43 days straight. The level of service (hot meals, etc) is better than commercial (lots to offer and it's all free). You don't deal with seat assignments, etc - all charter flying. Not much flexibility with your schedule, though. You will either fly long range 757 or widebody DC10.

Flying commercial (AA, DL, CO, UA, etc)....you pay your dues. If you commute you will be making 4-5 trips to base every month - very stressful. You can swap trips or drop them altogether = more days off. No food on the flights or you have to sell food to passengers and charge them for everything - drinks, headsets, etc. You will be on narrowbody planes for a while (DC9's etc.). Lots of legs over 3 days. Off the beaten path layover cities to start with. It took 3 years at AA to be able to have enough seniority to "hold" an international schedule. At AA you were either domestic or Intl - not both. And AA you did an entire month of reserve (on call) every other month for the 1st 3 yrs. then 1 on 3 off after that. I was still doing on call after 13 years for Intl out of JFK. And NYC covers EWR, LGA, and JFK. Lots of time in buses, cabs, and trains. I left at $45/hr in 2005. Hard to think of JFK on $17/hr. But 20 yrs from now...you will have a good schedule and be to transfer and commute (be higher up on the standby list). So the potential to improve is better than Omni. Omni will be the same (schedule wise) today as well as 20 years from now. I was only working 8-10 days per month after 13 years....full time. 80 hours. 10 days (20 flights) a month to SJU/AUA/STT, etc and back - no layovers.
There are pros and cons to both. I was not expecting to get hired with Omni....still doubtful about Delta. This is a job that you just don't leave and don't take for granted. It's impossible (almost) to get in the first place. So wear your wings with pride when you earn them.

I did through my e-mail...I'm excited a bit nervous but more excited and I just want to wish all out you out there the very best, ALOHA

READY2FLY! in Solvang, California said: THEY'RE BACK AT WORK!
Sorry to monopolize today's posts, but I just got a call from Delta HR (10:40 am pacific time). It wasn't a 000-000-0000 like before, it was actually a 312 area code (anybody know what state that is?) they were trying to confirm my last employment information and get a contact number for my employer. Apparently, they are having more trouble again with their computer system, and some info hase been deleted. The person was very nice and informative.
Here's the latest that was told to me:
1)Classes are categorized by language spoken (if you're French, you'll be with other French speakers)
2)Even if you live in Atlanta, you will be offered a room w/roommate with Delta picking up the costs and,
3)People who have been offered a training spot will be called, (which is strange because some folks said they received an e-mail.)

Well guys, that's all I know so far. But, they are contacting folks, so sit tight and answer the phone. I almost let it go to voicemail because I didn't recignize the number!!! Have a great day!

312 is chicago

Make friends with Jacob from Brooklyn - he will be your lifeline to getting in and around NYC...finding housing and roommates, etc. It's so scary at first...but what a great experience. At AA we had to arrive at training with $2,000 in traveler's checks (that they held on to) to help relocate. An hour after receiving our wings at the graduation ceremony we were shuttled to DFW and off to our flights to our base cities. That was it. We had 4-5 days to get settled (find a place to live) and then they called us with our first trip. I stayed in a hotel with 2 guys and my roommate from training (that I roomed with in DC) for 4 days until we signed a lease. $585/mo for a studio - back in 1992.

Most F/A's stay in Kew Gardens (NY)- which I recommend...lots of fellow f/a's to guide you in the right direction. It's between JFK and LGA. Some houses have 4 people per room - 5-6 rooms...can get your own bed for less than $300/mo. These are mostly for commuters. I hot bunked in a 9 bed, 1BR apt for only $125/mo. = "crash pad". Best of luck - I love NYC

lol id love to help any fa but am still waitng for my packet.I know my buddies got it thru peoplesource i still didnt not sure y still waiting!!!!

jacob in Brooklyn, New York said: lol id love to help any fa but am still waitng for my packet.I know my buddies got it thru peoplesource i still didnt not sure y still waiting!!!!

hey jacbo are you a speaker? where in NY are you. im in NJ

jacob in Brooklyn, New York said: in brooklyn are u in the jan class? and yes i am a speaker............

speaker also, waiting on final training date.. HOPEFUlLY the 7th also.. been in contact with people Scout daily..LOL

what language? im assuming hebrew?
Spanish here

Thanks ILOVEDELTA! Great Info.
You are correct. Wings are hard to get.
Once you have them- love them forever!
How I always remind myself how lucky I was to have my wings- I told myself everyday there was thousands of people who would take my job in a second and do it for free if they could.
You've been out of the game for two years! I've been out 14.
Still have it in my blood. And can't wait to get back in the game.
The people are amazing!

Now we wait for 312 to call! :)

I feel like I'm on reserve - hanging out by the phone...can't really make any plans...wanting to fly anywhere

Jacob,
When did you originally apply?
I'm also a Hebrew speaker but waiting on my FTF.

TRIMD4TKOFF in nw subs chicago, Illinois said: 312 is chicago

Thanks Trimd4tkoff! I am not sure why they called to confirm my employer...bad sign? They said they were having computer trouble and that some of my info was erased when they received it (scary.) Anyone else called from 312 area code (which I now know is Chicago People source) asking about work history?

I'm glad we're all touching base when we get news from Delta. It helps to read messages on a daily basis. I know the minute I got off the phone w/312 that I had to let you guys know.
THANKS TO i love delta, trimd4tkoff, all the hawaii folks, malti...who knows, we could all by flying together soon!!!

Michael in Melbourne, Florida said: I'm assuming that you went and had your FTF and was offered a training date is that correct? Or are you saying that they were calling to verify your employment information prior to your FTF?

Michael: Sorry to get back to you so late. Actually, they called to verify employment after FTF, already offered a job..waiting on a training date, which they said they would also call me to let me know. So now I have to sleep with my phone glued to my ear!!!!

With all of our code names in check!
It is very helpful when people who have some info check back in. As well, for all that are in the process of getting ready to go to training. Hearing what you all are going through is helpful as well. Thank you for coming back! :)

Thanks Malti.. yes I'm new here but i have been reading this forum for a long time now.. i am aware that most of the people here are nice.. but some are just not.. if you read the previous page you'll know what i mean..thanks again best of luck to you...

Thanks for the information on Omni, do they fly you to your interview or is it at your own expense?

I attended an open house that Omni held in ATL at a Hampton Inn in East Point. I drove since it was only 6 hours and I had no idea how long I would be there. It started at 8am and I was the first one finished by 1:30pm. The final 8 interviews started at 4pm - so it could have lasted until 5pm or so. And on the other hand the first cut of people was at 9am...that group was already heading back home. Some had flown in from Utah, IL, FL. I went the night before.

There were a few people that were going to attend the open house by Air Tran in Orlando last week. Hmmm...wonder how that went.

EOS, from what I've read, doesn't pay for anything. You have to fly to Rochester on your own dime. I applied with them, but only got an e-mail saying they received my application.

At AA...they flew you in at a time that allowed you to go and come back in one day. My previous DL interview (in 92) was a one day event - no overnight stay required. I think EOS and others may do this to see who is really serious about the job vs. just getting a free interview for practice purposes.

Thanks for the information!

Happy New Year everyone!!

Does anyone know if there is there is truth in the fact that if you did not receive a rejection email from Delta even though you were not picked at FTF that you would still be in the running?

rumor has it....no new is good news...someone mentioned they recalculate the points.

No one can say 100% - since we aren't HR....so I would hope you are still in the running! Best of luck!

Hi all! I remember reading somewhere that Delta's training is paid, does anyone know how much you are paid when in training??thanks!!!

Mary in Fort Worth, Texas said: Hi all! I remember reading somewhere that Delta's training is paid, does anyone know how much you are paid when in training??thanks!!!

Minimum wage, from what was told to us at the interview. Have you been to the interview yet? I'm curious to see what they are telling folks since I went in late November.

How do the Delta recruiters calculate points?

I havent been to the ftf yet, still in the waiting game was told I would be called to set up time and date. Minimum wage in Atlanta? Does anybody know what that means? Also for the training do you get to come home on weekends or do you have to stay there the entire 7 weeks? thanks!

I went on my interview with Delta November 30th and was offered the training the same day. I'm a spanish speaker and I the company just completed my clearance last week....no word about training yet and it's driving me mad! AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG!

Hi Brookly, I am a spanish speaker as well but was under the impression that wasnt a REAL advantage since they arent in desperate need of spanish speakers, did you feel that gave you a better chance at the interview? What did you think really got you in? thanks!

The really do need Spanish speakers in New York. Delta is expanding in Latin America and Caribbean and there is a need need for Spanish speakers. My best friend is an FA with Delta and from what she tells me there is a need. They probably have received tons of Spanish speaking applicants and therein lies the dilemma. So you really do have to make sure they see the best in you during the interview...friendly, all smiles, upbeat and quick thinking. Don't be nervous, that won't help you. I've been waiting to hear from Delta for months so when I was offered an interview and I was there, I couldn't help but be ecstatic.

I wish I had a phone number to call and see what is up...

Congrats on getting a job and thanks for the info I was wondering if they needed spanish speaking people as there are several of us who speak spanish that are waiting for a FTF. SOmeone said if you don't pass the phone interview that you will not get hired even if they tell you, that you are hired. Do you know if that is true? Thanks.
Shane

Do you mean the language interview? From what I understand, being hired as a language speaker you must know the language and pass the initial language assessment. There is little need for English only speakers. I was also told that there are two levels of language qualifications, 2 year and 10 year. So if you didn't do particularly great, you might get a two year qualification...and that assessment occurs after training.

Can any of you that have completed the ftf provide some examples of the questions that they asked in the interview and suggest the "right" answer?
Thanks!

I think you mean the initial telephone interview though...I couldn't tell you what the process is now, but when I did the phone interview I was told then and there that I passed and that I would be getting an email to schedule a face to face. The whole process took about three weeks. Now I'm waiting for training info for almost a month.

Brooklyn Flygirl:
Hi, I was also hired on Nov 30th!
1) Which interview session were you in?
2)How did you know you passed clearance?

I know, I'm in the same boat as you, waiting on training date. I'm a French speaker. I was told the same thing about the language tests. Has PeopleSource called you?
