New Delta forum ...

Hi Rebecca, pardon my confusion. There is an online questionnaire that pops up after you submit basic information and upload your resume. For me, at least, I could not fill out an online app until after I had been asked to do so by PeopleScout. They then enabled a function the next time that I logged in so that I could fill it out and submit it then. Again, that is only after I had passed the initial questionnaire online, the phone interviews and was then scheduled for a F2F.

What was the message that you received? Did it tell you that someone would get back to you, or did it give you a number to call w/in a specific amount of time? And it was specifically for a F/A position when it was open, correct?

I DO KNOW that you can visit your profile online with Delta. You can update your information, etc. You just need your password, etc. I think that if 6 months does pass without any contact for that position, that your information may just be deleted. Just a guess, but a logical one. Not sure that anyone would actually know the answer to that question.

Hope this helps!

Liza, I am still unsure what a ZED fare is as well as it is kind of a new term. I mostly commute on Delta, NW, UA, and Alaska and have not had to deal with that yet!

Sunflower in Atlanta, Georgia said: Gringa, quick question: Is it a plus if you have a recommendation from a DL employee?? Maybe I can get someone to recommend me. Would that make a difference?
Thanks for answering! =)
S.

Yes, it will make a difference! They look at all recommendations first, from what I understand. Good luck!!

Thank you! =)*

Hola Otra Vez Gringa. Eres muy solicitada. One question. When you say it's a plus if we have a recommendation, could it be from any department or is it better if they are from FA's? what about if it's someone who is alredy retired from DL and is not a FA? Would it still be useful?. Did someone recommend you?

Hola Sessy, y muchas gracias.

You can have a recommendation from anyone in the company. If they are retired, they still have an employee number, so I would imagine they could. Just have them go online to do it and they will be able to tell you whether or not it went through.

I sort of had someone recommend me. By that, I mean that I was already scheduled for my F2F and my friend said she'd get $500 if she recommended me and I got hired, then passed 6 months. I haven't talked to her to see if she got paid, but I don't know if it was too late at that point either.

Can anyone answer this question for me: The F2F interview in Atlanta, once you do get invited - is it really a F2F or is it a group interview session? Does everyone that's invited get a F2F? I ask because the recruiter refers to it as a F2F, but from posts I've read it sounds like it's a group interview actually, and some are selected from the group for a F2F.

Patiently waiting (& hoping) here in P-town...like everyone else!

C'est pas ma faute. Et quand je donne ma langue aux chats. Je vois les autres. Tout prets a se jeter sur moi. C'est pas ma faute a moi. Sij'entends tout autour de moi. Hello, helli, t'es A Michel. Moi Michel.

Oops, wrong forum! Well.....ummm PDX.....I have no idea about your question, but it sounds like it's a group, then invited to a F2F. I hope that everyone is having a great weekend!

I hope that no one speaks French in this room. AHHHH!!!

is there interviews for delta flight attendants now in october ?

Hello! I appreciate you offering assistance to those wanna be Delta F/A? Here are some questions I have; Best to where hair up or down in F2F?, I believe you have to score a 90% in training to pass, which makes me nervous( I am a bad test taker ),how is this 90% done. You must get this on each test, or is this the overall score at the end you must achieve?, Where do you stay in training? Hotel? Dorm?, How many a/c's does Delta have and how is that broken down in training?, Once online, do you get "check rides", my past airline did that?, After training do you get time to go home and regroup? Ok I think that covers enough Q & A for now.
Thanks, Tina :-)

I look fwd to your feedback, woo hooooo!!!

Actually, there are a couple of speakers in this room, but your secret is safe with us - "it's not your fault". :)

Hi PDXKAT! Once they fly you to Atlanta yes, you will be with more people which you can call that a group session but part of the process is that at some point during the day, you'll have your F2F. So that means yes if you get invited to Atlanta, you'll get both group session and your F2F. Everyone invited to Atlanta will get their F2F. I hope that answers your question. Have a great week.

Merci beaucoup RJ! :-) What a tough time. My case with Spirit is still in grievance, but at least it's there I guess. I am trying to get on with a regional right now. I need to be flying. I've been out of work for over a month, and it's getting really annoying. Unemployment pay sucks, and I have a horrible PT job that starts this weekend. *sigh* I wish airlines were more expedited in their hiring processes. Anywho....enough rants for today!

Ha ha Mike! I remembered just enough high school French to get the gist. LOL!

Tina,

~ wear your hair however you want.
~ The 90%is averaged over the entire time that you are there. You tackle one thing at a time.
~ Delta puts you in a hotel or they have dorms, whichever is open.
~ the amount of A/C's we had will be different from future classes due to our acquisition of NW. There will be more birds. I am guessing around 8 birds total.
~ You may or may not get time off between class and base orientation.
~ We have appearance checks on the ground with a supervisor (FSM) which consist of questions, manual and passport checks, as well as appearance. One per month for the first six months. In addition, the flight leader of one flight monthly (your choosing) will evaluate your performance and ask safety questions as well, signing off for you to turn into your FSM; again one per month for the first six months.

Coldturkey, they are not conducting interviews this year at all. They will be starting in the Spring of next year. If I hear of anything sooner, I will post it. Good luck!

Have a great day!!

Gringa

Yea, I made a little mistake. Oops! Hopefully I can get a job with a regional soon. I can wait for DAL until the spring!

Wooow Gringa ,,,,,,, Now there won't be interviews til next Spring?. Is that the latest news??? I thought you guys (FA's) were saying that they would be hiring for this Fall of '08? We'll need more patience then.......

What I don't understand is why they keep putting ads up on websites for Flight Attendant applications if they have such a long list already and aren't hiring until Spring.

Sessy, I never knew/heard anything about hiring for Fall of '08. We got a memo back in August stating that they were done for the year. I don't know who said anything otherwise, but we are pretty well informed.

Sorry, my sister!

Yes, those ads that keep showing up are frustrating. It's as if they're taunting us.

Mike, did you ever say what actually happened? I don't want to be nosy, but I missed part of what happened to you. It's ok if you don't want to say. We all know how large companies can be.

Since so many regionals are frozen now as well, who are you going to try to get on with? Pinnacle, Allegiant, MAI?

RJ........well lets just say it has nothing to do with my performance.....the company was treating everyone like crap, and I was a pawn. I was thinking Mesaba or Compass.

Thanks for the great info as always mi querida Gringa!!! it's always very valuable. I had understood from the FA website on the Delta area that some FA's had mentioned about possible hiring for the Fall '08. Probably I misunderstood something. Anyway,,,,, we'll keep waiting right?, we have no other option.

GREAT NEWS!!!!

Just ran into my friend here in ATL (she is the one that is on the new Delta safety video) and she is a trainer. I point-blank asked her when the next event was and she said........

JANUARY!!! They will be interviewing in January for 200-300 positions. I asked her if the classes were already full and she said no. So that is great news for all of you waiting for that F2F!!!Congrats b/c you will be FIRST to be interviewed and therefore in the first classes; and you know what that means....all the seniority you can get is valuable!

Much love and I hope this finds you well and makes a positive impact on your day! I am on a freaking 4.56 hr sit here in ATL..Argh. Angst..!

I don't know why the computer states me as being in West Virginia...it is my friend's computer though, so maybe that is it.

Gringa

Very good news. I may have a job with Marriott tomorrow, so that'll hold me over until DL calls! *hopefully*

WOOOW GRINGA TIENES UN CORAZON BELLO!!! Thanks so much for such a wonderful and hopeful info. I can feel your excitement and happiness and hopefulness for all of us that are waiting for an opportunity, waiting that someone in Delta will believe in this passion that we have for the airline, for the industry. It's the best news I've gotten in a long time after knowing my mother in law is moving out of our house (hahaha!!! just kidding!). Thanks , Thanks , Thanks and a million Thanks for what you do for us.

Hey Gringa! Sorry you are stuck in ATL. (But there are worse airports to be stuck in. LOL) Thanks for the update on possible dates for interviews, training etc. I'll be on my way on a buddy pass to the West by god Virginia on Fri. Can't wait to go boating and have some po boys while I'm there. MMMMM!

SJDGringa in Portland, Oregon said: Oh, and I AM LOD qualified, but didn't want to sign a contract in the hiring process (Spanish). I didn't want to be limited in my bidding/monthly flying requirements.

I am but a lowly new hire of 7 mos and need to keep all possible options open!!

Quick question, Gringa: What do you mean being LOD limits what you can bid on? If you sign a contract as LOD, do you mean that you can only bid on those places and less domestic flights? I thought being LOD would give you more freedom, not limit you? Gracias!

I have a friend who works for DL, and he is LOD Spanish. He mostly flies to Spain and Spanish speaking countries, but he has also gone to London, Paris, Moscow, and Amsterdam, so I don't believe that it limits you. Who knows.

Has anyone joined this site? Is it worth it?

Tina

P.S. Thank you for the answering my previous questions. I'm new to this forum and trying to still figure this out.

What is LOD? Something to do with language. I want to make sure i know in case i'm asked. First post on this site. I am enjoying it very much. Thank you

Luv nature in Atlanta, Georgia said: Where is the Drama Queen Ms. Los Cabos(SJD) /Peachy????

Stop dicouraging applicants on this forum and the other Delta forum. Stop passing on wrong and misleading info about the interview. You are a Drama Queen, Unprofessional, Very Rude, Verbal Abuser, Ugly and vindictive....LIER

You were FIRED from your job...Yes I work currently in the industry and I know you were FIRED.

I am currently based in NY for Delta. My FSM is Peter Sloane should you need to verify my employment. I am truly sorry for offending anyone, for heaven's sakes. I only meant good will. Good grief.I am stymied as to where all of this animosity is coming from.

SJD, I am stymied too, I have to admit. I can't see what you did to offend anyone. I din't find your post on the other forum offensive, but someone else must have read something into it. As DeltaFA stated, that can happen when you don't have the benefit of the physical human element - words can be misconstrued. Don't let it get to you. I think the rest of us agree that your intentions are good and you have been very helpful providing us with information which we all love to hear about. Please don't let a misunderstanding and one person's confused, negative attitude drive you away. We appreciate you and DeltaFA very much for taking the time to provide us insight and encouragement.

We're here for you!

Peachy and myself are not one and the same person. I have never heard of her before, but I do agree with her.

I would also like to remind everyone here that interviewers actively read this board. My interviewer actually brought it up in my F2F, which also is not with just one person, but two; but of course you all know that already from the SOURCE.

BAH-HA-HA-HA!!!!!

Yeah, whatever, babe. Smoke another. I sincerely hope that Delta sees right through you and your other drama cohorts!

I have a feeling they will!

I am an old broad out here in Portland Oregon with a family and have no idea who you are or what you are talking about, but anytime you want to come to NY and actually investigate your accusations, I will give you Peter's personal numbers. Maybe you SHOULD take up toking...sheesh.

Hey All..I'm a DL F/A also for just over six months. I'm a commuter based in New York, but I live in southern California. I know for a fact that a class is starting in january for company tranfers and possibly some LOD speakers. my roomate in New York has a friend going into that class who is a company transfer. I hope that Gringa is correct that they are going to hire more people and start a new line of classes! The class in January is the only thing I know for sure right now.. but I will also keep you posted if I find out any inside info :-)

Sarah,
Thank You for taking the time to update this forum. I am new to this forum and I am waiting to be called for F2F interview.
I guess your roomate can help to answer my question since her friend is already confirmed going to the class in January.

What's the date of this class?

I hope to hear back from you soon.
Thank You.
Liza

Sarah,
Sorry..I forgot to ask you one more thing.
I am moving to southern California at the begining of 2009.
My question...how is the commute from Southern Cali to NYC or ATL?
and...whats DAL needs currently for Arabic Language speakers?

I know they have been expanding their Middle East routes..I hope they need more Arabic speakers.

Please update us as much as you can.
Thank YOU.
Liza

Hi Sarah!

Thank you so much for your info! I had no idea that they were actually starting a class in January as my SOURCE (LOL) said that it would be a hiring event. I asked her what she meant and she said they'd hired all the eligible candidates up to that point and that they were actually interviewing. I never saw the internal posting, but hey, glad for your roomie!!

Please DO tell us what your roomie says...update us as to if they are interviewing or if they ALREADY have slotted classes.

See you on the line, my friend!

Gringa

YAY NEW HIRES!!!! THAT MEANS I'M GETTING OFF RESERVE! Hey my precious Gringa! I am on the last few days of the 8day trip. Ready to come home! I have I think around 10 people ahead of me until I lose my Adays!

If we hire, then I will Def. be off adays very soon! We both will!

Hey Gringa...Still out her in West Virginie seeing my sister. Flying home tomorrow. I did ask you to accept me as a friend on myspace. Hope ya do! (I am not a stalker LOL)

DL has 8 day trips, I didn't realize that you had such long trips? Or is that just because you commute?

Tina

Nah its an 8 day Cape Town, South Africa trip (via. Dakar, senegal). Its a very nice trip. I wish I could hold it again..lol Now it goes senior. During the winter months our trips also get more days added to it. I saw 5 day Amman Jordan, 7 Tel Aviv, Israel, and much more. Those trips go senior tho because it high time trips. Us junior people have to search and snatch if one becomes available on the swap board. LOL

For everyone applying with Delta, I hope you make it! Not for just only my selfish reasons (hehehe) but for your career as well. This is a wonderful company and I know you all will enjoy it. I wouldn't go anywhere else if I were you! United, Continental, USAir, or American offers the Aday Reserve we have. It allows us to have a life rather than spend 5-10 years without one working for peanuts. Hope to see you all on the line soon!

I guess the middle east flight also have 3 Arabic LOD FAs since it's on 777...Is that right?

Why you giving the rest of the FA's at DAL bad reputation since you continuously act very Unprofessional and so immature/childish...You truly need to learn to GROW UP!!!!
No one have attacked you on here so stop attacking anyone else with your comments about the since you don't even know them ...meaning the "SOURCE" it sounds to me you are very jealous and ugly and seeking some reaction but the truth has proven everything posted from the SOURCE has been correct and we all have seen it. I guess you enjoy DRAMA since YOU ARE THE DRAMA QUEEN...LOL

VIP~ HI HONEY!!! How cooool to get a post all the way from Africa!! Pull up my line. I cannot believe how I shot myself in the foot...argh! LOL Oh well, live and learn!!! It WON'T happen again!! At least it isn't EWR!! HA HA HA! I cannot believe how CLOSE you are to being off Adays!! OMGsh! How totally exciting! I seriously doubt I will be off Adays before January or February, though, but I sure hope you get to be off of them for December! That'd be amazing!

Debbi, how weird! I haven't gotten a friend request! Can you message me there? Let's try it that way. I don't know what the heck is going on, I am so sorry, my sister!

Hey Luv, nice color.

VIP~ Oh, and I am so jealous that you got Turkey day off! I didn't even try...should have! Another lesson learned...didn't they say something like that in training....you should always dream bid? LOL, if I get an ATL layover, I will be calling you and your family!!! Look out! LOL

LOL Looking forward to having you over Gringa! I'll save a Turkey Leg for you! I think everyone got screwed on their schedules. I'm flying right now with people in the 5000's and they got MAN, SNN, DUB, and they say they are JUNIOR on the trips. Can you believe that???

I am actually glad I got Adays this month, because without them, i would be working thanksgiving. I looked at some of my classmates lines, since they dont have adays, and they got screwed too. Every one of them have to work thanksgiving PLUS the weekend of. So I think Adays saved me this time.

I saw on Ecrew that our seniority numbers are being resequenced on Nov 2nd! I wonder what will be our new numbers!

Sarah and VIPinflight,
please answer my previously posted questions for each one of you..I truly would appreciate it.

Thank You,
Liza

Gringa-Think of me on a buddy pass tomorrow and keep your fingers crossed I get home to Bend! I sent you a message on my space.

777 to Mumbi, 3 Arabic Speakers
777 to Tel Aviv, 3 Hebrew Speakers
777 to Shanghai, 3 Mandrian Speakers

I asked my Manager about class in Jan. 2009. She didn't have any info she could give me. Like Gringa said before, there wasn't an internal memo or anything letting us know of any hiring. There are just rumors going around about it. I hope we do hire. Good Luck to you all!
