Pros

Start flying while you are free of responsibilities at home. It's a lifestyle. Take advantage of opportunities within the department to develop a better understanding of the company firsthand. You will have opportunities to travel the world and make lifelong friends. I was proud to work for Delta.

Cons

Once you leave the company, via early retirement, it's virtually impossible to return. This forces many people to continue working far too long with poor attitudes and burn out.

Pros

The benefits are the best part for me. I've never had a benefits package that include free flights for me, my husband and daughter.

Cons

The pay is not all that great compared to the hours and work you do. Try to apply for other positions within the company. Or use your experience gained with Delta Airlines to apply elsewhere where the pay will match you hard work.

Pros

🔺Break down of Delta F2F interview 🔺 You are being interviewed by flight attendants and other HR recruitment will be in the back watching your every move. You arrive they split you into 3 groups each group is assigned a task. One group will do their F2F, the other group will have a Q&A where if you’re wanting the job ask as many questions as possible. During this section they will be doing a jump seat test where the belt is only about 18 in around (smaller than a regular airplane seatbelt) but there are bigger people as FA don’t let that scare you. and a test to see if you can reach the the storage cabins on a Boeing 737. The 3rd group will be doing a cart activity where you need to read the instructions in full, delegate who does what, work and talk as a team, they don’t give you any feedback the entire time so you’re just guessing, you’re putting on the drinks, ice trays, snacks and lunches there even is a peanut allergy so watch that. (it’s only a 10 minute exercise work fast) They give you no instructions other than to read the paper. (google what an airline cart looks like). After all task are completed they break you down into zones 1, 2, and 3 if your are escorted out in the first group you didn’t get it, second group is a maybe, and there’s group that stays you hit the job you will do your fingerprint and drug test in spot. They give you really good encouraging words but I’d rather have honesty they lie to your face saying wait for an email when they no you didn’t get it. Training is for 6 weeks and is it $7.25 where you work 50 hours a week. Pay after training is $32.50 based on flight hours when the cabin doors close a $2.48 per diem if you are not home or moving and are still on company time. Everybody is super fake friendly to the point where they’ll compliment your whole outfit but they no you’re not the right pick. Currently as of November 2022 they only have an offering of the worse airports, you will only work domestic flights as a Junior FA as they told us a lot of Oklahoma, Idaho, South Dakota random places like that. So if you’re doing it for the thrill and wanting to travel I recommend trying a different airline the senior FA get first grabs of flying abroad. If you live where there isn’t any bases you will have to either commute which can lead you to paying for your own hotel if you are left somewhere or taking your days off to travel ahead of time to your base. Or to move and there is no moving package it’s all on you financially to move. I got all the way to the F2F on my first try and I won’t be applying again as you have to wait 6 months. Just move on to another airline that promises to have you home every night and have relocation packages. Bigger airline name does not mean they are better.

Cons

Would rather have a company tell me the honest truth rather to lie
