I really appreciated this video. I recently lost a great job after only 3 months because of a few strikes against me that were out of my control and it was devastating. I was super embarrassed and ashamed. Your video let me know I was not alone in that experience and that great things will follow as long as you keep your head up.
I'm so glad it could help - it really is better on the other side after some time. You're going to get through this and I have no doubt you'll move on to better things :)
They made one mistake which was the phone number. The other two were her mistakes. She shouldn't have been fired, but with today's generation, it's hard to find and keep good help. I believe that she would have made an excellent employee and flight attendant. She should pursue a pilot career especially now with the lack of pilots in the industry.
Gotta say, first strike wasn't your fault. Second two definitely were. The industry can be unforgiving, but showing up on time and being airport aware are basic components of being successful. No airline in the world can afford to wait on a crew member who is inconsistent.
It isn't fair to the paying customers (passengers) who if they are 10 minutes late will get told "so sorry, no refund, you missed your flight." The passengers are there for a flight sold to them at a certain time. Being 10 minutes late because a flight attendant got lost at their home base airport can cause connections to be missed and mess up dozens of peoples days.
@@flyomaI agee, you can't hold up a whole plane who now has to wait for you. Passengers can get annoyed, and they have connections that they now might miss. If I was a flight attendant I would be showing about about two hours early. Just to sign in, and find my gate. It gives me time so should something arise I still have time to arrive on time.
Everything happens for a reason. Do not beat yourself up over it. Delta is trying to streamline, to stay competitive. However, being a FA, is a very hard job. I quit being a FA, because it wasn't what I expected. Good luck to you and your endeavors. You'll find something more suitable and work for a company with compassion..I did!! It will happen for you .I promise!!!
Wow, she's so honest and mature about it, however, the corporation owes every employee, "the benefit of doubt," period. I believe that her termination was unjust, due to the errors of the HR personnel for errors on her application data input.
It may have been unjust but that's life. Sadly no corporation has an obligation to a probationary employee. I can almost. guarantee she has zero leal recourse. Delta is the brass ring and if you want to work for them you must be perfect or tenured. I'm sorry, Cassandra. The fact that you were even hired there shows you are a superior person. It will be okay. ❤️
@@PthaloGreen2-It was not an unjustified termination. Passengers safety and lives are at stake too. She’s a sweet girl but I wouldn’t want to put my safety into anyone’s hands who doesn’t even know what terminal they are in.
Obviously Delta needs to review how they integrate new employees into the organization. The first mark against you was not your fault and you should be able to fight that at a higher level. Your immediate manager should be your advocate not a score keeper. Based on your charming personality and smarts not to mention your stunning presentation Delta should welcome you as the type of person they need. I flew Delta for 40 years....they use to be the best. Not now. Give Southwest a call they run a great airline and most folks there seem friendly.
Delta's wholly owned subsidiary Endeavor Air is unionized. I worked for them and they are a lot more empathetic too and will let you have a meeting to discuss your side of the story and you get a union rep and they're so much more understanding.
Wow, you are so gracious and this was such an insightful video. I’m sorry this happened to you but it’s wonderful that you have other aspirations. I can tell you’d make such a great pilot!
Unfortunately this is why I advocate to apply only to airlines that have unions. There are benefits and downfalls to unions but it is much harder to be terminated under circumstances like these
@@alp.9672 That maybe on paper for the short term but Southwest pay wise is the best long term. Southwest tops off at 72.80 an hour after 13 years where Delta tops off at 66.91 after 10 years. If you want to do it for a short time then great, Delta is the way to go but if you're trying to make career, I'd definitely consider Southwest.
I agree with you - three strikes and you're out, baby. Your looks can't save you or they shouldn't be able to save you. If you knew that you would receive $100,000 for showing up on time and not getting any strikes you would have done it. I don't think you took your job serious until you found out that you would no longer have it. Thanks for the video though. Great video!.
How could she treat LaGuardia as if it's JFK? That doesn't make sense to me. Was she in a rideshare or taxi? If not, and I understand that mistakes happen, but if she's driving on her own to a new airport she should leave WAY WAY WAY early so there's no excuses. Someone once told me something when I was first starting out in my career and I've never forgotten it. He said, "Being early is being on time, being on time is being late, and being late is unacceptable."
So sorry you went through this. I worked as an airline flight attendant for over 18 years. While I did not work with Delta directly, I did work numerous Delta Connection flights. I certainly understand how different the terminals are in LGA, JFK and Newark. I thought it was completely wrong for you to have received any "strike" from not being notified about the first trip. I just wonder if the trip was posted on your employee site? When Delta and Northwest merged, it changed. I was not happy Delta decided to close the CVG-Cincinnati hub and crew base. Maybe you could consider working for a regional airline such as PSA, Piedmont, or Republic Airways. Thank you for sharing your story!
Unfortunately, it was over three years ago so I couldn’t tell you about the site - I remember checking it in the morning but that’s about it. I’m sorry they closed CVG, was that your base? Thanks for the insight! I’ve heard great things about all three. Will definitely check them out when my hours get closer :)
@@CassandraRi Yes, CVG was my crew base. I was based in CVG for 7 years with Comair, which was owned by Delta Airlines. Then near the end of 2006, Comair decided to expand the JFK crew base. Over 200 flight attendants were assigned to JFK, including myself. I tried to commute to JFK but found it very difficult. So, I left and was hired by Chautauqua Airlines, which also had a base in CVG. We flew mostly Delta Connection flights, but some AA Connection flights. We worked on the 50 seat, EMB 145 Regional Jets, which required only one flight attendant. So if you decide to apply with PSA, Piedmont, or Republic Airways, you would be working on regional jets, requiring 1 or 2 flight attendants. Also, PSA, Piedmont Airlines, and Republic Airways all have a crew base in PHL. If you have any questions about working for a regional airline, please do not hesitate to ask. After working for larger airlines, I found I really enjoyed working for a smaller, regional airline.
Her supervisor was lazy. Delta missed out She is a lovely person and would have been a great flight attendant. That first no show should not have counted. I used to fly for Delta too many years ago and the same thing happened to me where it was claimed a phone call was made to me the very first day of working. My supervisor called me and asked where I was and I told her where I was is none of her business (lol Now I can’t believe I ever said that.) Anyhow she insisted a call was made and I said , “Do you really think I would be that inept on my very first day of employment not to be available?” I then told her on the phone I would take this to upper management if it was counted negatively. She called me back and said she spoke to the scheduler and they admitted maybe they never called me , so it was dropped. I flew for many more years. It used to be a great job.
I just lost my job as an airline pilot-in-training. Turns out they give a lot more “chances” to younger pilots, like the one I know personally. I never once failed a single test, evaluation, or anything. They made excuses, but those excuses didn’t ring true. After listening to this young lady, why do I feel as if I dodge a HUGE BULLET???
@@Cunningstunts23 Yes indeed there is. Airline pilots have to start somewhere! It starts with several weeks of ground instruction, then depending upon the company, a week of SIPS, followed by a couple weeks of SIMS, then finally OE (Operations Experience), which is when you fly your first (real) flight from the right seat, with an examiner sitting in the jump seat, giving you your final evaluation.
@@cl5080 oh so you were a potential employee. You’re not an employee of the company until completing their training. You got a CJO and failed training. That’s a prospective employee in training
@@Cunningstunts23 No, I was a full employee of the company, complete with benefits and full pay. You become a full employee of the company when you pass the interview and receive the job offer, which I did. The actual “job” IS becoming a trainee for eventually taking the checkride. It includes ground instruction (my grades were stellar), and then the practical training and evaluations. And no, I didn’t “fail” training, as I made a conscious decision to temporarily discontinue training in order to spend more time with my elderly and frail mother who broke her leg last year and still needs PT. I don’t know what a “CJO” means, and it doesn’t matter since I obviously never received it.
Thank you so much for making this video. I am 17 and currently working 2 min wage jobs however being a FA for delta has always been my dream job. I will be sure to try my best to fix and learn the mistakes you made from your experience with them. Also yes I highly agree that delta needs to form a stronger union that will fight for there workers indeed.
Congratulations! Being an FA is literally the best job in the world. I flew 5 years with one of the Gulf Carriers and it was AMAZING. The two most important things to take away from this video: be on time and personal responsibility. Unions can be beneficial, they also can have some serious pitfalls. Do your research and choose the airline best for YOU. Good luck! It's truly an amazing job!
Great insightful video. You have wonderful maturity to show your side of the situation but also able to take a step back and understand at the end of the day it is business. In a world where literally every minute counts, they need everything as efficient as possible. Hope you are doing well after this instance!
Not going to lie. This makes me really hesitant about applying to work for Delta, whether as an FA or something else. Because this is messed up. I do hope things go well for you though!
I hate to say it, but you CANNOT be late as a FA, especially on probation. If are on time, you are late. You must be early. I say this because I am currently applying to be a flight attendant myself. I have in recent years been very lax about schedules. I know that getting where I am to be is a must if I am going to be in this field. The most important thing for a FA is to get there early. That said, I think the phone number mixup should not have counted against Cassandra. But Delta can and will do what they want to. Life goes on.
Wow. I could never work a job like this....too much commuting stress. It's like they own you. Thankful to all of you flight attendants for saying how it really is. Not for me at this season in my life...wow...very passive aggressive system. Horrible for mental health and wellness. I may have considered this in my younger days but I'm sure it would have made me nuts then also. Realizing now that incorporating grace and flexibility in my work life makes me a more loyal employee.
Sorry to say but even with a union you would have gotten points against you and not reporting on time being on time is super important in this job . Anyone reading this being a new flight attendant don’t be discouraged you can do this even being based in New York !!! Just be diligent in giving yourself enough time and make sure you familiarize yourself with the airports before your called ! NYC has enough crash pads no reason to commute also. Best of luck to anyone becoming crew !!!!!
Yea, a union is no good. They just take your money. Delta used to pay more than most union airlines and had good benefits. I don’t know how they are today.
Cassandra, good for you in taking yourself to above the fray. I understand your disappointment, but your taking your experience and giving it meaning. I hope you're pursuing your ambition to become a commercial(?) pilot.
Self-critical awareness is the first step to success. I got fired from all my employments, and I have only myself to blame because I wasn't happy there thus did not make any extra effort could not stand the team lead. Now I am self-emplyed doing what I loved all my life: teaching children tech and engineering.
I work for SWA and I applied to Delta because I like the service, upscale look. But one of the things that stopped me from going to the F2F interview was the lack of union. :( Good luck
i know this is 2 yrs old...but even without a union Delta is the only main airline to pay FAs during boarding, pays the highest hourly rate, pays you min wage while attending school, pays the highest profit sharing and does NOT make new FAs work reserve/standby schedule for a year but gives them a line right out of training - and you get your home base assignment prior to going to training. So it seems like having a union either doesn't really pay off OR it takes too long with negotiations.
@@Unoniomus well I hope thy keep making great calls in order to keep their FAs from getting a union ….if they are handing out the highest hourly pay, highest annual profit share, automatically awarding a line instead of 1plus years of working A days and the ONLY ones to pay during boarding all in the name of not having a union…then let them proceed ….
God closes doors for a reason. I’m sure you taking this all in as a life lesson. You come off as a sweet person. I appreciate you for sharing your life experience! You should definitely become a pilot fight for your dreams. 💕
Everyone commenting about why unions are so important for airline employees is overlooking an essential fact: she was ON PROBATION. Even if she had been at a union-represented airline, union protection does not kick in until probation is successfully completed. She would have been just as fired (and probably wouldn’t have been given the full three strikes, either) at American, United, etc. Please know facts before commenting.
This is why Unions are so important. I’ve been around long enough to know that Unions are the only advocates employees have. They fight for you. I guarantee that if Delta was a union shop you’d still be working there. The Pilots have Unions. There is a reason for that.
Not true. She was on probation. At another carrier with a labor agreement, there is still a period of probation during which the employer can terminate employment. The employee could pursue a wrongful termination, but would unlikely to be successful. Three documented incidents in a short period does not bode well.
@@ascotberks2018 *_TWO,_* not three. Yes, the "lates" could be counted against her, but the employee taking down wrong info (and she had proof of that), is not her fault AT ALL. It is 100% the fault of the company. Do you expect someone to be a mind reader, when you give them the correct information, that they are going to take it down incorrectly??
I had a similar experience with the Fortune 500 company I worked for right out of college. I had been working there for 18 years. A 32 year old manager was promoted to my department and immediately began to micromanage my work. I brought this matter to the attention of his boss, the director and he totally ignored the situation. I then brought this issue up to the attention of the SVP and he refered me back to my immediate manager. I got to the point I told myself, I don't need this, I'm too good of an employee, so I quit. In essence, my situation was a case of constructive discharge. The "silver lining" is, I found a new job working from home with a Fortune 100 company. Trying to fight to keep your job that you shouldn't have to is wrong. Glad you moved on.
So they had the wrong number in the system for you ....but also called you and let you know that they just tried to call you? Something isn't adding up here. And also the whole process to get hired... they have your phone number they used to do phone interviews so if you did a phone interview then they also had your correct number in order for you to do said interview.... something just isn't right here🤔🤔
Delta is extremely hard to get into but can be easy to get out of, unfortunately. They have no soul. You either walk in alignment within their eggshell maze constantly or you get out. A union will make them a true dream airline to work with. No doubt, as you say, this was the best thing to happen to you. While for some, this is a dream but this was a blessed thing for you!
Even if delta has a union you would not of been protected the first 6-8 months so you still would of been fired. You seem very sweet and kind and I don’t want to sound mean but you have no one to blame but yourself for these three mistakes. I’ve been a Flight attendant for almost 28 years and it was POUNDED in our heads to leave early, KNOW the airport parking places.and always allow more time than you normally think you would need. In addition it is HIGHLY recommended to live on your base while,you are on reserve. Also it is your responsibility to check your information on file to make sure all info is up to date. This can be strenuous, I absolutely understand but DEPENDABILITY AND FLEXIBILTY are two must haves for this job. Pilots work rules as far as dependability reserve life, availability are very similar to flight attendants. Flight attendant and pilot jobs just aren’t for everyone. Best wishes to you in your next career!!!!
This was her grace period, and mistakes were inevitable, the first mistake wasn’t even her fault. I think you should have compassion! Best wishes trying to fix that!!!
Hi there, just saw this video of yours and I too used to work at Delta but at the ramp department back in 1995. In my situation I just had some bad dealings with my bosses and only was only there for four months and quit . Just by watching and hearing your story they haven’t changed that much in 25 years. Good luck to you!
I think the same thing would happen to you in any company. I hope you used this experience to learn how to manage your time and check/recheck info. They really didn't do anything wrong. Imagine if you had to be somewhere and your plane gets delayed because the FA is trying to park her car and is late?
"They really didn't do anything wrong".... Except for when they texted the wrong number. She was on her last month of probation which means if they hadn't done that she would probably still be there.

As a recently retired DL employee, (19 yrs) I've seen and experienced some great interaction with management, and quite frankly, some terrible crap. I've also worked with, and without union representation during my career. I'm glad that I had that experience, and can tell you that it's not a perfect world in either case. A career in commercial aviation is not for the faint of heart, and requires the ability to look past the tough times, and still show up. I went through the whole NWA / DL merger, acquisition, or whatever you want to call it, so I've experienced years of uncertainty. It ain't fun! I'm grateful that DL came along when they did. I'm not sure that NWA would have even survived. I have tremendous respect for those who work in Flt Operations, and In-Flight, as it's a grind...more so today, than ever! All the best to you young lady, you have a bright future! ✌️ Mark (MSP)
Good to see you back Cassandra. I did the miss the previous upload even though I had notifications turned on. I think everyone has the moment in their life where they question their motives and evaluate their choices and rethink what they actually were after in the first place. Had a similar experience where I left a job because of working issues and then kinda felt like I shouldn't have but the better opportunities opened up after I worked hard for what I actually wanted to become. Very relatable experience. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah it seems that's been happening to a few people with that video! That's wonderful you took that leap and ended up in a better place! Glad you enjoyed it :)
@@meta_ai yeah! I should be uploading another one in a week or so - it's a vlog about a day in the life training for your CFI. Is there anything you'd prefer to see more of?
@@CassandraRi that's nice. I'd love to see uploads of your musical performances. Playing on instruments or singing or reading a book or a story. Your voice really is soothing and calming. Thanks.
Good attitude! I worked Ground for the commuter wing of a major US Airline! I jokingly called it the Civilian Military! But it taught me great discipline! I loved it!
I was never so stressed out in my life during my career as a flight attendant. Even with the unions. I worked for three airlines, two of them went out of business and the third didn't have the base I needed to work from. But 'mistakes' such as being even a minute late, dealing with unruly passengers, jet lag, not to mention it all beginning with the incredible stressful training, the poor pay, the disrespect from 'superiors', I'm glad I did it but in the end, I'm glad it ended. But not before I met my husband (airline director) and got my dream job of staying home full time and raising our children. One of which is now an airline pilot. So heads up - there's a silver lining in all 'missed' opportunities or unfairness. You just need to be 'the captain' (pun, sorry) of your life and look for new opportunities - when one door closes, another one opens. BTW, Delta SUCKS.
@@alp.9672 even the “best companies” always have room for imporvement its not always what it seems coming from a former Delta FA who transferred to united instead
Thank you for sharing this. Winston Churchill said "An optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." What I kept thinking about during your video is what amazing parents you have to raise such a mature young woman with such a positive outlook on life. Good luck in all that you do as I am sure you will achieve whatever you set your mind to.
All airlines count on punctuality and safety detail oriented. Punctuality is as paramount as being safety detail oriented. Anyone who doesn’t possess those characteristics will ever succeed in a commercial much less any airline or corporate or private. Ask any flight crew members. Airlines appreciate attractive, polite flight attendants but punctuality and safety detail oriented is paramount. No union would have saved her job probation or otherwise. Unions are not your friend. There’s also a little book online written by AA Stewardess, Kiki Ward “The Essential Flight Attendant Guide” that outlines exactly what to expect for anyone interested in being an airline stewardess. She nails it too. Being an airline stewardess is as much fun and can be very rewarding in so many ways. I know because I was a stewardess for 12 years. I loved every minute of that 12 yrs. Cassasndra, you definitely possess the warm demeanor an airline is seeking. I don’t know how some of these verbally aggressive attendants on the news keeps a job for very long.
My mom used to work for Northwest and was crushed after the merger when keeping the union was voted down. She really hated the black and white system and eventually she felt delta was outsourcing too much international flying to foreign partners, while her friends at United were working long hauls she was still doing 4 days/4 leg per day domestics. She’s retired now and misses it but for what it USED to be.
I am a Delta Diamond level passenger. I HATE THOSE OUTSOURCE FLIGHTS more than employees. But Delta loves it! They sell us a DL-coded flights but when there is an issue, they finger point their partners. NWA's legendary Asia network is completely destroyed now. United may not have the best service but they not leave their passengers stranded overseas like Delta.
It was never the same after the merger. Delta really didn’t want to fly Asia because honestly they didn’t care to create the business friendships they needed over there. They didn’t want to fly freight because they didn’t think there was any money in it..HaHa what a joke. Tell that to FedEx
Sorry they treated you like this, that’s why unions are important. Some of these companies just doesn’t care about their employees or even their customers. There are other jobs out there, even better ones for you. On to bigger and better opportunities! Thanks for sharing!
Flight Attendants in that first probationary period are slaves to the airline from what I am seeing from these flight attendant videos. Part of the training for a new hire there should be an orientation for them at city they are based from. The situation for New York would be daunting for traffic, parking and airport familiarity. The mishap for the telephone number should have been re verified. What is unfortunate is the severity of the issues with not reporting to the gate on time. I personally cannot see why anyone would keep that job, It seems thankless.
I was a flight attendant for thirty-eight and a half years, first with Pan Am and then Delta when Pan Am went out of business. It's a shame no one explained the importance of being on time, especially during probation. I think Pan Am might have terminated you for being late once. That was back in the day when we wore hats, white gloves and girdles. Also, the union does not protect you while on probation. We belonged to a union with Pan Am, and the only things it did was keep bad flight attendants from being fired.
Unions do a lot more than keep "bad" flight attendants employed. Adjusting to the lifestyle of this career in particular is difficult enough without constantly having to worry about not having support. A union is there to support you and fight for workers rights.
@@Newsies17 I am only speaking from personal experience working for the airline. The union enabled a flight attendant who had sex with a passenger on a flight she was working to keep her job.
Greeting Debbie... My father and my uncle both worked for Pan American worldairways... When Pan American went bankrupt, Delta stepped up and rescued their jobs.... Dad worked for nearly 20 years until in 2005, Delta stopped their flights to Mumbai and Dad lost his job... I still remember seeing him in his uniform and till date keeps it well preserved... God bless Delta Airlines🥰 God bless yall 😇
@@capjoshua I might have encountered your father and uncle because I occasionally flew to Mumbai, back when it was called Bombay. Then, to save money, Pan Am hired flight attendants from India. i can't remember the year I stopped flying there. I still have my first uniform and the uniform I was wearing when I met my husband, who was a 747 captain. Yes, we were fortunate to be hired by Delta.
Playing Devil’s Advocate: It’s ultimately your job to pay attention to detail and all airlines are D 0. Time is $$ and $$ is time. The first thing they tell you is Safety, On-Time performance and Pax comfort. It’s the nature of the business. There are strict guidelines which must be followed with no deviation. You seem very intelligent I know you’ve learned something. I wish you the best of luck.
I’m sure you’ll be better off as a pilot. The only thing similar is the lifestyle but the job is like night and day. No room for growth as FA, it just becomes a routine and you get burnt out. Good luck in your studies! 👩✈️
I am sorry this happened to you. Thanks for sharing with us so others will know what will be expected when doing that job. What year were you a Delta flight attendant?
Ms. Cassandra you sound like a very nice and very positive lady. I'm betting you were and very good flight attendant. You didn't express any anger or bitterness about how unfairly you were treated in the incident that wasn't your fault. Do you still plan on pursuing opportunities as a flight attendant/pilot training? Ms. Cassandra I'm sure you had family and friends tell you these words of encouragement. If they didn't, I will. DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!!! You are young NOW! But not forever. "In life self-discipline weights an ounce, self-regret weights a ton" Ms Cassandra you don't want to grow old with self-regret. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Hey there! Thanks so much for that, it’s really kind of you to say such things. I do, I’m actually a flight instructor now! Really appreciate your support and advice :)
Do you really believe it? Scheduling didn't have the number to call to assign schedule, but magically had the number to call when she didn't show up. Something doesn't add up here...
Hey new subscriber here!!! I've been a flight attendant for 2 years now! I've been considering becoming a pilot a lottttt. All pilots tell me if you can get used to the lifestyle and you genuinely love flying then becoming a pilot will be a breeze. LOL at the Union thing btw! Flight attendants from my company have been fighting for a union contract for a few years now. Sorry to hear about how you got terminated. I'm glad everything worked out in the long run!
Hey thanks for the subscribe! Oh my gosh is it just an uphill battle fighting for a union? Thanks so much and hey if you have any questions about becoming a pilot I’d be happy to help :)
I'm sorry you went through all this,I worked for Delta after we merged from Northwest Airlines and I might say I certainly liked Northwest so much more than DL. A lot of stressful times adjusting to the Delta system,I wish the best of luck to you in your career going forward.I do feel that Delta is a good company and I wish the best for them and all employees!
Strike 1 wasn't your fault. Strikes 2 and 3 were. If there's one thing I've learned watching all the different FA videos on TH-cam, is that you must NEVER be late. Leave 5 hours in advance if you have too but you must NEVER be late. You obviously didn't take that rule to heart for your strikes 2 and 3. But you're hot so you'll get by just fine in life.
Thanks for sharing your experience with Delta! I’m currently on my probation with my airline, and I had a miss trip by failing to commute on time so I understand how nerve wracking those feelings are! My airline has a union but they said there wouldn’t be much they could help me until I’m off probation so we’ll see what happens..😢 Glad to see that you moved on. Everything happens for a reason. Good luck with your new chapter!!!
I am sorry this happened to you. The same would have likely happened to you at a union carrier on probation. It is not an option to be late....if you commute as a reserve, you need to be there the day before. Again, I am sorry this happened to you.
How did they call you to say “ where are you “ if they had the wrong number on file. I guess you should arrive 1 hour early for all your trips . Better to be organized and ready to go. Good luck
How about watching the whole video and not being an asshole. Maybe think about the fact that there may be two desperate systems. She's taking it in stride and showing it
wow I have heard bad experiences with Delta from aircraft mechanics I know, now your experience just confirms their encounters too. Thanks for the info!
Delta’s anti union stance is quite unsettling to me. If the pilots have a union, the flight attendants should too. Like your dad said: the lifestyle is the same!
Actually I do have a question kind of a complaint about flight attendants I understand they have a tough job. My recent American Airlines flights they give a whole spiel about getting the Barclay card credit card and make an announcement over the PA system and then go around the plane heading out applications for the credit card. This should not be part of their job advertising for credit cards. Why do they do this? it makes me not sympathetic to their cause.
May 30 just ran a crossed your vlog. Greatly appreciate your attitude. There’s gonna be some really good doors opening for youWith that attitude. God bless
So, dispatch allegedly get to "call" and "text" without requiring confirmation of message receipt. In other words, you "should" have known. That's ridiculous. Not even pilot's in the air work like that.
And yet another reason why I stopped flying Delta!! Definitely not your fault, they are just another corporation that just doesn’t care about their customers and their employees!! Wish you the best of luck and hope you do become a pilot.
Not to be harsh but you were let go because it was your fault. 1st strike- how did they call you to ask you where you are at if they had the wrong number? 2nd strike- you didn't know where you were going. You should've checked ahead of time since you never had been there, 3rd strike- you didn't pay attention to where you were going and thought you were at a whole different airport.... aloofness isn't a good quality for a FA. Glad you have a good attitude though and good luck in the future!
Good question! After someone typed my number incorrectly into the Delta Scheduling system (designated for Scheduling to contact you), they called me from a separate tier of the system (I had typed in my real number myself during training, but it was for general contact info or something like that, so Scheduling wasn’t looking for that number. I’ve also called Scheduling from my number previously, so I’m sure once they realized I wasn’t responding they were trying to figure out why). No worries, I agree; it was a good lesson to learn from :) Thanks for the input!
Well, that IS a harsh view. However when you are on probation at Delta (or most places) there can be NO slipups, alas. I've learned this the hard way myself. Still, I think the first incident was Delta's fault. But they have a bunch of people waiting to take your job if you work there so... that's life. I have been intervieng with them myself. However, I'm also looking at other airlines because I might not be perfect (or lucky) enough for Delta! And that's okay; there are other airlines and jobs. Hang in there, Cassandra.
70 K a year or even 100 K a year is nothing today, you people have to put your dreams and energy to start your own businesses instead of relying on the system, ultimately even the union is a system that is not really to help people but just to use them for their own benefit
Tbh sounds like a lot of excuses. 3 strikes in 6 months…I think you should take some accountability. Probably best you didn’t go the pilot route…you can’t really be late if you’re the pilot. My theory is you’ve probably just got away with a lot due to pretty privilege but will not admit it. Just try and be more disciplined if you want different results. You won’t have to fight so hard if you just get to work on time. It’s very reasonable for your employer to expect an employee to show up on time. Delta sees the pattern in behaviour that is quite obvious. Hope you learn from this and wish you all the best.
Something similar happened to my husband at Delta in 2014. We fighted with a lawyer for 1 year, he could not get his job back, after 16 years, with a perfect record!! Delta is a great company, but it has a horrible record of terminating employees unfairly. I wish there was a Union. But the employees keep voting for no Union every year…
I’m based in LGA/JFK as well this is definitely stressful being on time. 😢 lots of things going out of control and being late, gives me anxiety. Now I try to get there 1 hour before my sign in time , 2 hours before the departure. I rather wait than stressed out in the train or bus 😱
This is ridiculous to be on call for 24 hours. Everyone needs sleep. You can't be functional and alert at work if you were up for 24 hours expecting a phone call any second. And there are stages of deep sleep. If crew scheduling calls you when you are in deep sleep there is a good chance you will not hear the ringing. I understand being on call for 12 hours or 14 hours max, but not longer. ✈
I think you have a good attitude about what happened. It's very sad that this happened to you, because I think showing you're great attitude you have proves you would have made a great flight attendant. The first occurrence wasn't your fault, the second occurrence was your fault because you were late, and you should have been more familiar with the parking situation perhaps go there on your day off and look to see how things are working there. The third occurrence was your fault as well for being at the wrong airport. I have done it myself but I always gave myself enough time to be at work to fix any problems that may arise such as traffic on the Van Wyck or Kew Gardens cab not showing up on time or the driver picking up 3 other flight attendants when you might have thought you would be in the cab all alone (which is very common). I was able to correct my mistake by getting a Yellow cab very quickly and getting myself to the correct airport. When you are on probation you just don't make mistakes like the last two. You should have continued with the open door policy and all the way to Jenny and explained and show her the mistake with the phone number issue. Being non-union has nothing to do with your probationary 6 months. All of the majors have the same 6-month probationary rule and a union can't help you. I wish you were still with Delta because you would have at least 8,000-10,000 flight attendants below you by the time of this comment since you posted this 2 years ago according to TH-cam. I saw that you wanted to become a pilot. Judging by your looks, you look young and probably still under 30 years old. You could have an amazing career as a pilot, as an industry we are expected to lose 10,000-12,000 pilots per year through attrition alone and this is expected to continue for the next 2 more years, just here in the U.S. Pilots are making captains with only 2-3 years under their belt. Pilots are being hired with the FAA minimum of 1,500 required flight hours. I just had a pilot jumpseater that was a flight attendant and in 1.5 years he got enough flight hours to become a pilot. I suggest that you go take out the $100,000 loan and go for it. Most majors now have their own affiliation with universities that are for flying only to make you a pilot. I don't recommend that you go with the regional airlines just start out at the major airline you want to make your career at. You'll be making a minimum flying the A220s, A221s, A319s, or 737s a starting wage of 60,000-80,000 then it only gets much better from there. I wish you the very best in your future endeavors.
I did a trip trade for another employee and worked the flight. She obviously didnt show up for the flight she was supposed to work. I was terminated for a missed trip. It made no sense to me. Lesson learned be aware and say no to trip trading if you dont know the person who your trying to help out. Two weeks later i found the trip trade paper work with both our signatures on it. I forgot to turn in my copy. They obviously received the other employees copy. I decided with all the mental, physical exhaustion, time spent at the airline not getting paid and more trouble than it was worth, i began to feel unappreciated and degraded in a thankless rudely environment that i did not want to fight for the job. Im glad to be out of there honestly.
I'm confused if the number was wrong in the system how did they call you to say where are you? When you didn't show up at the gate? There isn't one employee profile system? Just curious?
Great question! Yes, the number they got wrong in the system was specifically for days I'd be on call. Scheduling eventually called with the number I would use to call them, so that's how they were able to contact me
Tbh, it sounds to me like you needed to get your crap together. Maybe you should have fought to get off at the correct terminal and maybe you should have fought not waiting until the last minute to try looking for a parking space at the hotel.
I just got my CJO from a smaller company and thought I would move on from them after getting experience but at the interview of this smaller company and saw how family oriented they are I decided that I wanted to stay there and grow on as much as I can and your just showed my that delta is just not it. So sorry this happened to you
I’m in a similar situation as you. I got laid off from my job after 26 years last September. I thought I would stay there for life and this is a private company with no union or anything and once they laid you off that’s it. I also applied to be a FA for a low cost carrier here in Canada 🇨🇦 and I’m extremely worried about the training once I get hired. It is 4 weeks we were told and extremely hard. What are your tips to passing the training??
Thank You for your Video! I was working for a staffing agency and the president there had a ghetto way of doing things yet in the end on the day I was turminated (with unemployment) I was given this NASTY bull crap termination letter of my actions there. Good thing I left because the job was determental to my health. This video shows me I'm not alone and what you went through was similar to me. Thank You!
Cars can pull over to the side of a road and wait. Boats can temporarily stop moving on an ocean and wait. Trains on rails can come to a stop and wait. But airplanes for some strange reason need to keep moving at all times or they'll crash. Now tell me how flying is "the safest mode of transport".
Hi, have a question if you are driving to work, does the airline provide you with parking priviledge for the airport? And if so im NYC is it valid for all 3 airports?
Hi there! Yes, for JFK and LaGuardia there's staff parking and a shuttle that takes you to the airport. For Newark it's a little weird - you can park at a hotel and check in with your name, saying you're working for Delta then it's free parking for your entire trip. It's a little-known secret. I wish I could give you all the details, but it's been three years since I was a FA. I hope this helps!
The airline industry has a history of abusing flight attendants. It wasn’t that long ago they didn’t even have regulations around rest periods! Even when there’s a union there’s a lot that people get away with just with seniority and their positioning within the company. I went through a similar situation as you and looking back it was a blessing in disguise. Working in the industry requires one to cater their lifestyle around the job and other aspects of our lives suffer because of it. Not worth it!
I’m so happy to hear it was a blessing in disguise for you! Yeah the industry really can be rough - it’s awesome to know everything worked out for you :)
Lot of times as humans we ask ourselves “ Dear God why me? “ we feel like we had a bad luck or we are going through tribulations and ask out higher power why and why me? For that I once read a very profound answer : DURING THE TOUGHEST OF ALL THE TESTS, OUR TEACHER / MASTER IS ALWAYS QUIET AND OBSERVING US…. There is ur answer. Lot of times ur strength and resilience was being tested and thank u for being grateful. Also it wasn’t the right time for u! Now I hope ur in the right time at the right place and I’m sending u all the best of luck and prayers thanks for such great videos
I really appreciated this video. I recently lost a great job after only 3 months because of a few strikes against me that were out of my control and it was devastating. I was super embarrassed and ashamed. Your video let me know I was not alone in that experience and that great things will follow as long as you keep your head up.
I'm so glad it could help - it really is better on the other side after some time. You're going to get through this and I have no doubt you'll move on to better things :)
Run away from any company that penalizes you for THEIR mistakes.
They made one mistake which was the phone number. The other two were her mistakes. She shouldn't have been fired, but with today's generation, it's hard to find and keep good help. I believe that she would have made an excellent employee and flight attendant. She should pursue a pilot career especially now with the lack of pilots in the industry.
@@williamkraft5574Delta’s loss.
@@williamkraft5574 You observed what I observed. 2 were her fault. On the other side....The pilots go through the same thing, only worse.
Gotta say, first strike wasn't your fault. Second two definitely were. The industry can be unforgiving, but showing up on time and being airport aware are basic components of being successful. No airline in the world can afford to wait on a crew member who is inconsistent.
I agree. None of the flight attendants here on YT have never made a video about their being late!?
It isn't fair to the paying customers (passengers) who if they are 10 minutes late will get told "so sorry, no refund, you missed your flight." The passengers are there for a flight sold to them at a certain time. Being 10 minutes late because a flight attendant got lost at their home base airport can cause connections to be missed and mess up dozens of peoples days.
@@flyomaI agee, you can't hold up a whole plane who now has to wait for you. Passengers can get annoyed, and they have connections that they now might miss. If I was a flight attendant I would be showing about about two hours early. Just to sign in, and find my gate. It gives me time so should something arise I still have time to arrive on time.
You’re so right about everything you said, as an Airlines employee you’re just a number, and good luck to you and your futures.
Thank you very much! :)
Everything happens for a reason. Do not beat yourself up over it. Delta is trying to streamline, to stay competitive. However, being a FA, is a very hard job. I quit being a FA, because it wasn't what I expected. Good luck to you and your endeavors. You'll find something more suitable and work for a company with compassion..I did!! It will happen for you .I promise!!!
Thanks so much for your message and for the support! :) and I'm really glad to hear you found a career you enjoy!
It was NOT what I excepted( the Flight Attendant career) I mean...You are better off...I hope U can pursue whatever dream job U desire. U will soar🎉!
The airline industry is unforgiving.
Things happen for a reason.
Keep your head up and live life! 💪🏽
Wow, she's so honest and mature about it, however, the corporation owes every employee, "the benefit of doubt," period. I believe that her termination was unjust, due to the errors of the HR personnel for errors on her application data input.
It may have been unjust but that's life. Sadly no corporation has an obligation to a probationary employee. I can almost. guarantee she has zero leal recourse. Delta is the brass ring and if you want to work for them you must be perfect or tenured. I'm sorry, Cassandra. The fact that you were even hired there shows you are a superior person. It will be okay. ❤️
@@PthaloGreen2-It was not an unjustified termination. Passengers safety and lives are at stake too. She’s a sweet girl but I wouldn’t want to put my safety into anyone’s hands who doesn’t even know what terminal they are in.
Are you kidding? There is so many airports and when you start out airports are not simple.
Obviously Delta needs to review how they integrate new employees into the organization.
The first mark against you was not your fault and you should be able to fight that at a higher level. Your immediate manager should be your advocate not a score keeper.
Based on your charming personality and smarts not to mention your stunning presentation Delta should welcome you as the type of person they need.
I flew Delta for 40 years....they use to be the best. Not now. Give Southwest a call they run a great airline and most folks there seem friendly.
Thanks so much for your insight! Were you with Northwest before the merge? I’ll definitely look into them when my hours get up! :)
Delta's wholly owned subsidiary Endeavor Air is unionized. I worked for them and they are a lot more empathetic too and will let you have a meeting to discuss your side of the story and you get a union rep and they're so much more understanding.
@@katesmith8897 that's fantastic to know! Thanks so much for that :)
T H I S "Your immediate manager should be your advocate not a score keeper."
@@katesmith8897 Delta used to be that way. You could make an appointment to see a vice President of the airline and there were only a handful.
Wow, you are so gracious and this was such an insightful video. I’m sorry this happened to you but it’s wonderful that you have other aspirations. I can tell you’d make such a great pilot!
Thanks so much! :) and I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! 😊💗
Im sure you were a great FA , God has something else planned for you! Good luck with everything ❤️
Awe thanks so much! ❤ :)
Unfortunately this is why I advocate to apply only to airlines that have unions. There are benefits and downfalls to unions but it is much harder to be terminated under circumstances like these
Agreed there are definitely pros and cons :)
Hi, what airlines have unions?
Delta is a top airline to be a FA for
Delta has a union, all FA’s have unions on commercial air.
@@alp.9672 That maybe on paper for the short term but Southwest pay wise is the best long term. Southwest tops off at 72.80 an hour after 13 years where Delta tops off at 66.91 after 10 years. If you want to do it for a short time then great, Delta is the way to go but if you're trying to make career, I'd definitely consider Southwest.
The moment you walk into a room for a talk and theres more than one person you know you are done for
I agree with you - three strikes and you're out, baby. Your looks can't save you or they shouldn't be able to save you. If you knew that you would receive $100,000 for showing up on time and not getting any strikes you would have done it. I don't think you took your job serious until you found out that you would no longer have it. Thanks for the video though. Great video!.
How could she treat LaGuardia as if it's JFK? That doesn't make sense to me. Was she in a rideshare or taxi? If not, and I understand that mistakes happen, but if she's driving on her own to a new airport she should leave WAY WAY WAY early so there's no excuses. Someone once told me something when I was first starting out in my career and I've never forgotten it. He said, "Being early is being on time, being on time is being late, and being late is unacceptable."
So sorry you went through this. I worked as an airline flight attendant for over 18 years. While I did not work with Delta directly, I did work numerous Delta Connection flights. I certainly understand how different the terminals are in LGA, JFK and Newark. I thought it was completely wrong for you to have received any "strike" from not being notified about the first trip. I just wonder if the trip was posted on your employee site? When Delta and Northwest merged, it changed. I was not happy Delta decided to close the CVG-Cincinnati hub and crew base. Maybe you could consider working for a regional airline such as PSA, Piedmont, or Republic Airways. Thank you for sharing your story!
Unfortunately, it was over three years ago so I couldn’t tell you about the site - I remember checking it in the morning but that’s about it. I’m sorry they closed CVG, was that your base? Thanks for the insight! I’ve heard great things about all three. Will definitely check them out when my hours get closer :)
@@CassandraRi Yes, CVG was my crew base. I was based in CVG for 7 years with Comair, which was owned by Delta Airlines. Then near the end of 2006, Comair decided to expand the JFK crew base. Over 200 flight attendants were assigned to JFK, including myself. I tried to commute to JFK but found it very difficult. So, I left and was hired by Chautauqua Airlines, which also had a base in CVG. We flew mostly Delta Connection flights, but some AA Connection flights. We worked on the 50 seat, EMB 145 Regional Jets, which required only one flight attendant. So if you decide to apply with PSA, Piedmont, or Republic Airways, you would be working on regional jets, requiring 1 or 2 flight attendants. Also, PSA, Piedmont Airlines, and Republic Airways all have a crew base in PHL. If you have any questions about working for a regional airline, please do not hesitate to ask. After working for larger airlines, I found I really enjoyed working for a smaller, regional airline.
@@Athletics70 that’s awesome to hear! Thanks so much, I’ll definitely keep you in mind going forward :)
Her supervisor was lazy. Delta missed out She is a lovely person and would have been a great flight attendant. That first no show should not have counted. I used to fly for Delta too many years ago and the same thing happened to me where it was claimed a phone call was made to me the very first day of working. My supervisor called me and asked where I was and I told her where I was is none of her business (lol Now I can’t believe I ever said that.) Anyhow she insisted a call was made and I said , “Do you really think I would be that inept on my very first day of employment not to be available?” I then told her on the phone I would take this to upper management if it was counted negatively. She called me back and said she spoke to the scheduler and they admitted maybe they never called me , so it was dropped. I flew for many more years. It used to be a great job.
I just lost my job as an airline pilot-in-training. Turns out they give a lot more “chances” to younger pilots, like the one I know personally. I never once failed a single test, evaluation, or anything. They made excuses, but those excuses didn’t ring true. After listening to this young lady, why do I feel as if I dodge a HUGE BULLET???
What do you mean? There is no “airline pilot-in training” job.
@@Cunningstunts23 Yes indeed there is. Airline pilots have to start somewhere! It starts with several weeks of ground instruction, then depending upon the company, a week of SIPS, followed by a couple weeks of SIMS, then finally OE (Operations Experience), which is when you fly your first (real) flight from the right seat, with an examiner sitting in the jump seat, giving you your final evaluation.
@@cl5080 oh so you were a potential employee. You’re not an employee of the company until completing their training. You got a CJO and failed training. That’s a prospective employee in training
@@Cunningstunts23 No, I was a full employee of the company, complete with benefits and full pay. You become a full employee of the company when you pass the interview and receive the job offer, which I did. The actual “job” IS becoming a trainee for eventually taking the checkride. It includes ground instruction (my grades were stellar), and then the practical training and evaluations. And no, I didn’t “fail” training, as I made a conscious decision to temporarily discontinue training in order to spend more time with my elderly and frail mother who broke her leg last year and still needs PT. I don’t know what a “CJO” means, and it doesn’t matter since I obviously never received it.
Thank you so much for making this video. I am 17 and currently working 2 min wage jobs however being a FA for delta has always been my dream job. I will be sure to try my best to fix and learn the mistakes you made from your experience with them. Also yes I highly agree that delta needs to form a stronger union that will fight for there workers indeed.
Congratulations! Being an FA is literally the best job in the world. I flew 5 years with one of the Gulf Carriers and it was AMAZING. The two most important things to take away from this video: be on time and personal responsibility. Unions can be beneficial, they also can have some serious pitfalls. Do your research and choose the airline best for YOU. Good luck! It's truly an amazing job!
Them messing up your phone number isn't your fault.
Yes it is. After inputing information, you have to verify it is correct.
Found the bootlicker 👆
@@princesspilot9918 how you know she didn't. And they are supposed to verify it also.
Great insightful video. You have wonderful maturity to show your side of the situation but also able to take a step back and understand at the end of the day it is business. In a world where literally every minute counts, they need everything as efficient as possible. Hope you are doing well after this instance!
Not going to lie. This makes me really hesitant about applying to work for Delta, whether as an FA or something else. Because this is messed up. I do hope things go well for you though!
Thank you very much :) It's still a great company to work for, no harm in applying!
I hate to say it, but you CANNOT be late as a FA, especially on probation. If are on time, you are late. You must be early.
I say this because I am currently applying to be a flight attendant myself. I have in recent years been very lax about schedules. I know that getting where I am to be is a must if I am going to be in this field. The most important thing for a FA is to get there early.
That said, I think the phone number mixup should not have counted against Cassandra. But Delta can and will do what they want to. Life goes on.
Wow. I could never work a job like this....too much commuting stress. It's like they own you. Thankful to all of you flight attendants for saying how it really is. Not for me at this season in my life...wow...very passive aggressive system. Horrible for mental health and wellness. I may have considered this in my younger days but I'm sure it would have made me nuts then also. Realizing now that incorporating grace and flexibility in my work life makes me a more loyal employee.
@@CassandraRi May I ask how was the training? Did they fail a lot of people or try to work with them?
Sorry to say but even with a union you would have gotten points against you and not reporting on time being on time is super important in this job . Anyone reading this being a new flight attendant don’t be discouraged you can do this even being based in New York !!! Just be diligent in giving yourself enough time and make sure you familiarize yourself with the airports before your called ! NYC has enough crash pads no reason to commute also. Best of luck to anyone becoming crew !!!!!
Yea, a union is no good. They just take your money. Delta used to pay more than most union airlines and had good benefits. I don’t know how they are today.
@@rendafranker7088 SW pays the highest and has a union.
@@alejandrapadron2495 Southwest may be the highest paid now, I don’t know but Delta used to be the highest paid and they were non union.
But being polite and calm, able to communicate clearly and keep passengers calm... is not important to delta.
Cassandra, good for you in taking yourself to above the fray. I understand your disappointment, but your taking your experience and giving it meaning. I hope you're pursuing your ambition to become a commercial(?) pilot.
Thanks so much, James! I am pursuing the commercial route :) thanks for your feedback and support!
Self-critical awareness is the first step to success. I got fired from all my employments, and I have only myself to blame because I wasn't happy there thus did not make any extra effort could not stand the team lead. Now I am self-emplyed doing what I loved all my life: teaching children tech and engineering.
That's wonderful to hear! So glad you're doing what you love now :)
I work for SWA and I applied to Delta because I like the service, upscale look. But one of the things that stopped me from going to the F2F interview was the lack of union. :(
Good luck
Thank you! ❤
i know this is 2 yrs old...but even without a union Delta is the only main airline to pay FAs during boarding, pays the highest hourly rate, pays you min wage while attending school, pays the highest profit sharing and does NOT make new FAs work reserve/standby schedule for a year but gives them a line right out of training - and you get your home base assignment prior to going to training. So it seems like having a union either doesn't really pay off OR it takes too long with negotiations.
@@laketoye232 the only reason they just started paying during boarding was to discourage their fa’s from unionizing lol
@@Unoniomus well I hope thy keep making great calls in order to keep their FAs from getting a union ….if they are handing out the highest hourly pay, highest annual profit share, automatically awarding a line instead of 1plus years of working A days and the ONLY ones to pay during boarding all in the name of not having a union…then let them proceed ….
@@laketoye232 Right?! I like a company that is smart and chooses to do good without being told to or bullied into it.

Everyone commenting about why unions are so important for airline employees is overlooking an essential fact: she was ON PROBATION. Even if she had been at a union-represented airline, union protection does not kick in until probation is successfully completed. She would have been just as fired (and probably wouldn’t have been given the full three strikes, either) at American, United, etc. Please know facts before commenting.
exactly. people really out here thinking the union is gonna save thier a$$ from every mistake they make. that is not how it works
No union would have backed this poor lady. Be on time and detail oriented or look for another career.
Good to know
But the thing is… you don’t necessarily get fired for 3 “mess ups”… you may get extended probation
This is why Unions are so important. I’ve been around long enough to know that Unions are the only advocates employees have. They fight for you. I guarantee that if Delta was a union shop you’d still be working there. The Pilots have Unions. There is a reason for that.
I came to state this! I feel for my mainline colleagues and hope they do become a member of the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA-CWA)
@@EmpireCityRay people get fired every day under AFA......for the exact same things. Especially as a new hire.
Not true. She was on probation. At another carrier with a labor agreement, there is still a period of probation during which the employer can terminate employment. The employee could pursue a wrongful termination, but would unlikely to be successful. Three documented incidents in a short period does not bode well.
@@ascotberks2018 *_TWO,_* not three. Yes, the "lates" could be counted against her, but the employee taking down wrong info (and she had proof of that), is not her fault AT ALL.

I had a similar experience with the Fortune 500 company I worked for right out of college. I had been working there for 18 years. A 32 year old manager was promoted to my department and immediately began to micromanage my work. I brought this matter to the attention of his boss, the director and he totally ignored the situation. I then brought this issue up to the attention of the SVP and he refered me back to my immediate manager. I got to the point I told myself, I don't need this, I'm too good of an employee, so I quit. In essence, my situation was a case of constructive discharge. The "silver lining" is, I found a new job working from home with a Fortune 100 company. Trying to fight to keep your job that you shouldn't have to is wrong. Glad you moved on.
Wow, thanks for sharing your story! It’s so nice to hear you moved on and are happier now :)
So they had the wrong number in the system for you ....but also called you and let you know that they just tried to call you? Something isn't adding up here. And also the whole process to get hired... they have your phone number they used to do phone interviews so if you did a phone interview then they also had your correct number in order for you to do said interview.... something just isn't right here🤔🤔
Delta is extremely hard to get into but can be easy to get out of, unfortunately. They have no soul. You either walk in alignment within their eggshell maze constantly or you get out. A union will make them a true dream airline to work with. No doubt, as you say, this was the best thing to happen to you. While for some, this is a dream but this was a blessed thing for you!
Even if delta has a union you would not of been protected the first 6-8 months so you still would of been fired. You seem very sweet and kind and I don’t want to sound mean but you have no one to blame but yourself for these three mistakes. I’ve been a Flight attendant for almost 28 years and it was POUNDED in our heads to leave early, KNOW the airport parking places.and always allow more time than you normally think you would need. In addition it is HIGHLY recommended to live on your base while,you are on reserve. Also it is your responsibility to check your information on file to make sure all info is up to date. This can be strenuous, I absolutely understand but DEPENDABILITY AND FLEXIBILTY are two must haves for this job. Pilots work rules as far as dependability reserve life, availability are very similar to flight attendants. Flight attendant and pilot jobs just aren’t for everyone. Best wishes to you in your next career!!!!
This was her grace period, and mistakes were inevitable, the first mistake wasn’t even her fault. I think you should have compassion! Best wishes trying to fix that!!!
Hi there, just saw this video of yours and I too used to work at Delta but at the ramp department back in 1995. In my situation I just had some bad dealings with my bosses and only was only there for four months and quit . Just by watching and hearing your story they haven’t changed that much in 25 years. Good luck to you!
I think the same thing would happen to you in any company. I hope you used this experience to learn how to manage your time and check/recheck info. They really didn't do anything wrong. Imagine if you had to be somewhere and your plane gets delayed because the FA is trying to park her car and is late?
"They really didn't do anything wrong"....
Except for when they texted the wrong number. She was on her last month of probation which means if they hadn't done that she would probably still be there.

As a recently retired DL employee, (19 yrs) I've seen and experienced some great interaction with management, and quite frankly, some terrible crap. I've also worked with, and without union representation during my career. I'm glad that I had that experience, and can tell you that it's not a perfect world in either case. A career in commercial aviation is not for the faint of heart, and requires the ability to look past the tough times, and still show up. I went through the whole NWA / DL merger, acquisition, or whatever you want to call it, so I've experienced years of uncertainty. It ain't fun! I'm grateful that DL came along when they did. I'm not sure that NWA would have even survived. I have tremendous respect for those who work in Flt Operations, and In-Flight, as it's a grind...more so today, than ever! All the best to you young lady, you have a bright future! ✌️ Mark (MSP)
Good to see you back Cassandra. I did the miss the previous upload even though I had notifications turned on.
I think everyone has the moment in their life where they question their motives and evaluate their choices and rethink what they actually were after in the first place.
Had a similar experience where I left a job because of working issues and then kinda felt like I shouldn't have but the better opportunities opened up after I worked hard for what I actually wanted to become.
Very relatable experience. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah it seems that's been happening to a few people with that video! That's wonderful you took that leap and ended up in a better place! Glad you enjoyed it :)
@@CassandraRi thanks . Will you be uploading anymore videos in the nect few weeks.
@@meta_ai yeah! I should be uploading another one in a week or so - it's a vlog about a day in the life training for your CFI. Is there anything you'd prefer to see more of?
@@CassandraRi that's nice. I'd love to see uploads of your musical performances. Playing on instruments or singing or reading a book or a story. Your voice really is soothing and calming. Thanks.
@@meta_ai I'll keep that in mind! Thanks for the recommendations!
Good attitude! I worked Ground for the commuter wing of a major US Airline! I jokingly called it the Civilian Military! But it taught me great discipline! I loved it!
I was never so stressed out in my life during my career as a flight attendant. Even with the unions. I worked for three airlines, two of them went out of business and the third didn't have the base I needed to work from. But 'mistakes' such as being even a minute late, dealing with unruly passengers, jet lag, not to mention it all beginning with the incredible stressful training, the poor pay, the disrespect from 'superiors', I'm glad I did it but in the end, I'm glad it ended. But not before I met my husband (airline director) and got my dream job of staying home full time and raising our children. One of which is now an airline pilot. So heads up - there's a silver lining in all 'missed' opportunities or unfairness. You just need to be 'the captain' (pun, sorry) of your life and look for new opportunities - when one door closes, another one opens. BTW, Delta SUCKS.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience and advice! I'm really glad to hear you're living your dream now :)
Lol Delta doesn’t suck it’s one of the best companies to work for and you got lucky.
@A Country Girl Thank you so much for sharing your story! Such motivation and an inspiration ❤️ I hope to do the same.
@@alp.9672 even the “best companies” always have room for imporvement its not always what it seems coming from a former Delta FA who transferred to united instead
@@dejtv956 I would only work for Delta or Southwest
Thank you for sharing this. Winston Churchill said "An optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." What I kept thinking about during your video is what amazing parents you have to raise such a mature young woman with such a positive outlook on life. Good luck in all that you do as I am sure you will achieve whatever you set your mind to.
All airlines count on punctuality and safety detail oriented. Punctuality is as paramount as being safety detail oriented. Anyone who doesn’t possess those characteristics will ever succeed in a commercial much less any airline or corporate or private. Ask any flight crew members. Airlines appreciate attractive, polite flight attendants but punctuality and safety detail oriented is paramount. No union would have saved her job probation or otherwise. Unions are not your friend.
There’s also a little book online written by AA Stewardess, Kiki Ward “The Essential Flight Attendant Guide” that outlines exactly what to expect for anyone interested in being an airline stewardess. She nails it too. Being an airline stewardess is as much fun and can be very rewarding in so many ways. I know because I was a stewardess for 12 years. I loved every minute of that 12 yrs.
Cassasndra, you definitely possess the warm demeanor an airline is seeking. I don’t know how some of these verbally aggressive attendants on the news keeps a job for very long.
My mom used to work for Northwest and was crushed after the merger when keeping the union was voted down. She really hated the black and white system and eventually she felt delta was outsourcing too much international flying to foreign partners, while her friends at United were working long hauls she was still doing 4 days/4 leg per day domestics. She’s retired now and misses it but for what it USED to be.
I am a Delta Diamond level passenger. I HATE THOSE OUTSOURCE FLIGHTS more than employees. But Delta loves it! They sell us a DL-coded flights but when there is an issue, they finger point their partners. NWA's legendary Asia network is completely destroyed now. United may not have the best service but they not leave their passengers stranded overseas like Delta.
people who refuse a union think that local management speaks for them.
It was never the same after the merger. Delta really didn’t want to fly Asia because honestly they didn’t care to create the business friendships they needed over there. They didn’t want to fly freight because they didn’t think there was any money in it..HaHa what a joke. Tell that to FedEx
Sorry they treated you like this, that’s why unions are important. Some of these companies just doesn’t care about their employees or even their customers. There are other jobs out there, even better ones for you. On to bigger and better opportunities! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much! :)
Flight Attendants in that first probationary period are slaves to the airline from what I am seeing from these flight attendant videos. Part of the training for a new hire there should be an orientation for them at city they are based from. The situation for New York would be daunting for traffic, parking and airport familiarity. The mishap for the telephone number should have been re verified. What is unfortunate is the severity of the issues with not reporting to the gate on time. I personally cannot see why anyone would keep that job, It seems thankless.
Cassandra you are so sweet and honest! I hope you are doing amazing! God bless you
You’re such a pure soul, I respect you for making this video
Everything happens for a reason, specially in aviation. Don't give up.
Thank you! :)
I was a flight attendant for thirty-eight and a half years, first with Pan Am and then Delta when Pan Am went out of business. It's a shame no one explained the importance of being on time, especially during probation. I think Pan Am might have terminated you for being late once. That was back in the day when we wore hats, white gloves and girdles. Also, the union does not protect you while on probation. We belonged to a union with Pan Am, and the only things it did was keep bad flight attendants from being fired.
That's awesome insight! Yeah I suppose there are pros and cons with unions but definitely appreciate your experience from it!
Unions do a lot more than keep "bad" flight attendants employed. Adjusting to the lifestyle of this career in particular is difficult enough without constantly having to worry about not having support. A union is there to support you and fight for workers rights.
@@Newsies17 I am only speaking from personal experience working for the airline. The union enabled a flight attendant who had sex with a passenger on a flight she was working to keep her job.
Greeting Debbie...
My father and my uncle both worked for Pan American worldairways... When Pan American went bankrupt, Delta stepped up and rescued their jobs.... Dad worked for nearly 20 years until in 2005, Delta stopped their flights to Mumbai and Dad lost his job...
I still remember seeing him in his uniform and till date keeps it well preserved... God bless Delta Airlines🥰
God bless yall 😇
@@capjoshua I might have encountered your father and uncle because I occasionally flew to Mumbai, back when it was called Bombay. Then, to save money, Pan Am hired flight attendants from India. i can't remember the year I stopped flying there. I still have my first uniform and the uniform I was wearing when I met my husband, who was a 747 captain. Yes, we were fortunate to be hired by Delta.
Playing Devil’s Advocate: It’s ultimately your job to pay attention to detail and all airlines are D 0. Time is $$ and $$ is time. The first thing they tell you is Safety, On-Time performance and Pax comfort. It’s the nature of the business. There are strict guidelines which must be followed with no deviation. You seem very intelligent I know you’ve learned something. I wish you the best of luck.
I’m sure you’ll be better off as a pilot. The only thing similar is the lifestyle but the job is like night and day. No room for growth as FA, it just becomes a routine and you get burnt out. Good luck in your studies! 👩✈️
Yeah for sure! I saw your channel btw, are you a FA? Thanks so much for your insight and support! I really appreciate it :)
@@CassandraRi I was an FA but now studying for my PPL :)
@@juliamilesaway that’s amazing! Wishing you the best of luck :)
just watch out you don't land in wrong airports cause you got mixed up. Passengers no like

I am sorry this happened to you. Thanks for sharing with us so others will know what will be expected when doing that job. What year were you a Delta flight attendant?
It's okay! Thanks so much though :) for sure, I'm just happy to help in any way I can. I was a flight attendant in 2017 :)
Ms. Cassandra you sound like a very nice and very positive lady. I'm betting you were and very good flight attendant. You didn't express any anger or bitterness about how unfairly you were treated in the incident that wasn't your fault. Do you still plan on pursuing opportunities as a flight attendant/pilot training? Ms. Cassandra I'm sure you had family and friends tell you these words of encouragement. If they didn't, I will. DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!!! You are young NOW! But not forever. "In life self-discipline weights an ounce, self-regret weights a ton" Ms Cassandra you don't want to grow old with self-regret. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Hey there! Thanks so much for that, it’s really kind of you to say such things.
I do, I’m actually a flight instructor now! Really appreciate your support and advice :)
Ok being late twice is on you 100% but the fact that scheduling had you number wrong is their fault not yours
Do you really believe it? Scheduling didn't have the number to call to assign schedule, but magically had the number to call when she didn't show up. Something doesn't add up here...
Hey new subscriber here!!! I've been a flight attendant for 2 years now! I've been considering becoming a pilot a lottttt. All pilots tell me if you can get used to the lifestyle and you genuinely love flying then becoming a pilot will be a breeze. LOL at the Union thing btw! Flight attendants from my company have been fighting for a union contract for a few years now. Sorry to hear about how you got terminated. I'm glad everything worked out in the long run!
Hey thanks for the subscribe! Oh my gosh is it just an uphill battle fighting for a union? Thanks so much and hey if you have any questions about becoming a pilot I’d be happy to help :)
@@CassandraRi Thank you! I appreciate that!
I'm sorry you went through all this,I worked for Delta after we merged from Northwest Airlines and I might say I certainly liked Northwest so much more than DL. A lot of stressful times adjusting to the Delta system,I wish the best of luck to you in your career going forward.I do feel that Delta is a good company and I wish the best for them and all employees!
Agreed! Thank you very much :)
These were honest mistakes and I feel for you. The stress. Look at this as a blessing
Thanks for the feels lol definitely became better for it :) appreciate the positive outlook!
Thanks for being so gracious regardless of your experience!
Dang. I'm so sorry things turned out like that. I would give you another chance for sure. I bet you were great with passengers.
Awe thanks so much!
Strike 1 wasn't your fault. Strikes 2 and 3 were. If there's one thing I've learned watching all the different FA videos on TH-cam, is that you must NEVER be late. Leave 5 hours in advance if you have too but you must NEVER be late. You obviously didn't take that rule to heart for your strikes 2 and 3. But you're hot so you'll get by just fine in life.
leaving when wrongfully fired is bad too. she should have called local police to protect her.
@@SamSitar You obviously don't live in the US. What you said doesn't apply in the US.
Thanks for sharing your experience with Delta! I’m currently on my probation with my airline, and I had a miss trip by failing to commute on time so I understand how nerve wracking those feelings are! My airline has a union but they said there wouldn’t be much they could help me until I’m off probation so we’ll see what happens..😢 Glad to see that you moved on. Everything happens for a reason. Good luck with your new chapter!!!
Oh man I'm sorry to hear that! Are you still working the line in the meantime? Hey any time, thanks for sharing your experiences, too!
I am sorry this happened to you. The same would have likely happened to you at a union carrier on probation. It is not an option to be late....if you commute as a reserve, you need to be there the day before. Again, I am sorry this happened to you.
Agreed! It was a great learning experience. It’s okay, thanks :)
Good luck Cassandra!
Thank you so much! :)
How did they call you to say “ where are you “ if they had the wrong number on file. I guess you should arrive 1 hour early for all your trips . Better to be organized and ready to go. Good luck
How about watching the whole video and not being an asshole. Maybe think about the fact that there may be two desperate systems. She's taking it in stride and showing it
wow I have heard bad experiences with Delta from aircraft mechanics I know, now your experience just confirms their encounters too. Thanks for the info!
Delta’s anti union stance is quite unsettling to me. If the pilots have a union, the flight attendants should too. Like your dad said: the lifestyle is the same!
Actually I do have a question kind of a complaint about flight attendants I understand they have a tough job.
My recent American Airlines flights they give a whole spiel about getting the Barclay card credit card and make an announcement over the PA system and then go around the plane heading out applications for the credit card.
This should not be part of their job advertising for credit cards. Why do they do this? it makes me not sympathetic to their cause.
You could try to get a flight attendant job in another company. You do not need to give up the job when there is other companies with the same job
Hey, thanks for sharing your story so sorry it didn’t work out, all that matters is that you got back up,
How is it they had your number wrong to call you and ASSIGN a trip, but had your number correct to call you when you didn’t sign in?
May 30 just ran a crossed your vlog. Greatly appreciate your attitude. There’s gonna be some really good doors opening for youWith that attitude. God bless
Thank you very much! :)
So, dispatch allegedly get to "call" and "text" without requiring confirmation of message receipt. In other words, you "should" have known. That's ridiculous. Not even pilot's in the air work like that.
Yeah unfortunately that's what happened :/ but it was a good lesson to learn from :)
So refreshing to see someone take ownership of their mistakes instead of blaming others.
And yet another reason why I stopped flying Delta!! Definitely not your fault, they are just another corporation that just doesn’t care about their customers and their employees!! Wish you the best of luck and hope you do become a pilot.
Not to be harsh but you were let go because it was your fault. 1st strike- how did they call you to ask you where you are at if they had the wrong number? 2nd strike- you didn't know where you were going. You should've checked ahead of time since you never had been there, 3rd strike- you didn't pay attention to where you were going and thought you were at a whole different airport.... aloofness isn't a good quality for a FA. Glad you have a good attitude though and good luck in the future!
Good question!
After someone typed my number incorrectly into the Delta Scheduling system (designated for Scheduling to contact you), they called me from a separate tier of the system (I had typed in my real number myself during training, but it was for general contact info or something like that, so Scheduling wasn’t looking for that number. I’ve also called Scheduling from my number previously, so I’m sure once they realized I wasn’t responding they were trying to figure out why).
No worries, I agree; it was a good lesson to learn from :)
Thanks for the input!
Well, that IS a harsh view. However when you are on probation at Delta (or most places) there can be NO slipups, alas. I've learned this the hard way myself. Still, I think the first incident was Delta's fault. But they have a bunch of people waiting to take your job if you work there so... that's life. I have been intervieng with them myself. However, I'm also looking at other airlines because I might not be perfect (or lucky) enough for Delta! And that's okay; there are other airlines and jobs. Hang in there, Cassandra.
Everything happens for a reason! Better things ahead for you follow your heart.
Thanks so much for the positivity! :)
Your fine.one door closes, there is another that opens my dear.
Question. How did the call you if they didn't have your numbering the first place?
Sketchy ✍️
70 K a year or even 100 K a year is nothing today, you people have to put your dreams and energy to start your own businesses instead of relying on the system, ultimately even the union is a system that is not really to help people but just to use them for their own benefit
Tbh sounds like a lot of excuses. 3 strikes in 6 months…I think you should take some accountability. Probably best you didn’t go the pilot route…you can’t really be late if you’re the pilot.
My theory is you’ve probably just got away with a lot due to pretty privilege but will not admit it.
Just try and be more disciplined if you want different results. You won’t have to fight so hard if you just get to work on time. It’s very reasonable for your employer to expect an employee to show up on time.
Delta sees the pattern in behaviour that is quite obvious. Hope you learn from this and wish you all the best.
From my experience flying with Delta, it was all negative. I try my best not to use that airline.
Something similar happened to my husband at Delta in 2014. We fighted with a lawyer for 1 year, he could not get his job back, after 16 years, with a perfect record!!
Delta is a great company, but it has a horrible record of terminating employees unfairly. I wish there was a Union. But the employees keep voting for no Union every year…
I’m based in LGA/JFK as well this is definitely stressful being on time. 😢 lots of things going out of control and being late, gives me anxiety. Now I try to get there 1 hour before my sign in time , 2 hours before the departure. I rather wait than stressed out in the train or bus 😱
This is ridiculous to be on call for 24 hours. Everyone needs sleep. You can't be functional and alert at work if you were up for 24 hours expecting a phone call any second. And there are stages of deep sleep. If crew scheduling calls you when you are in deep sleep there is a good chance you will not hear the ringing. I understand being on call for 12 hours or 14 hours max, but not longer. ✈
You absolutely still sleep and should! You can set a phone and also a second device to ring on high. (Like an iPad or Apple Watch ).
I think you have a good attitude about what happened. It's very sad that this happened to you, because I think showing you're great attitude you have proves you would have made a great flight attendant. The first occurrence wasn't your fault, the second occurrence was your fault because you were late, and you should have been more familiar with the parking situation perhaps go there on your day off and look to see how things are working there. The third occurrence was your fault as well for being at the wrong airport. I have done it myself but I always gave myself enough time to be at work to fix any problems that may arise such as traffic on the Van Wyck or Kew Gardens cab not showing up on time or the driver picking up 3 other flight attendants when you might have thought you would be in the cab all alone (which is very common). I was able to correct my mistake by getting a Yellow cab very quickly and getting myself to the correct airport. When you are on probation you just don't make mistakes like the last two. You should have continued with the open door policy and all the way to Jenny and explained and show her the mistake with the phone number issue. Being non-union has nothing to do with your probationary 6 months. All of the majors have the same 6-month probationary rule and a union can't help you. I wish you were still with Delta because you would have at least 8,000-10,000 flight attendants below you by the time of this comment since you posted this 2 years ago according to TH-cam.
I saw that you wanted to become a pilot. Judging by your looks, you look young and probably still under 30 years old. You could have an amazing career as a pilot, as an industry we are expected to lose 10,000-12,000 pilots per year through attrition alone and this is expected to continue for the next 2 more years, just here in the U.S. Pilots are making captains with only 2-3 years under their belt. Pilots are being hired with the FAA minimum of 1,500 required flight hours. I just had a pilot jumpseater that was a flight attendant and in 1.5 years he got enough flight hours to become a pilot. I suggest that you go take out the $100,000 loan and go for it. Most majors now have their own affiliation with universities that are for flying only to make you a pilot. I don't recommend that you go with the regional airlines just start out at the major airline you want to make your career at. You'll be making a minimum flying the A220s, A221s, A319s, or 737s a starting wage of 60,000-80,000 then it only gets much better from there.
I wish you the very best in your future endeavors.
I did a trip trade for another employee and worked the flight. She obviously didnt show up for the flight she was supposed to work. I was terminated for a missed trip. It made no sense to me. Lesson learned be aware and say no to trip trading if you dont know the person who your trying to help out. Two weeks later i found the trip trade paper work with both our signatures on it. I forgot to turn in my copy. They obviously received the other employees copy. I decided with all the mental, physical exhaustion, time spent at the airline not getting paid and more trouble than it was worth, i began to feel unappreciated and degraded in a thankless rudely environment that i did not want to fight for the job. Im glad to be out of there honestly.
I'm confused if the number was wrong in the system how did they call you to say where are you? When you didn't show up at the gate? There isn't one employee profile system? Just curious?
Great question! Yes, the number they got wrong in the system was specifically for days I'd be on call. Scheduling eventually called with the number I would use to call them, so that's how they were able to contact me
Tbh, it sounds to me like you needed to get your crap together. Maybe you should have fought to get off at the correct terminal and maybe you should have fought not waiting until the last minute to try looking for a parking space at the hotel.
This was literally my plan,
First flight attendant, then pilot
That's awesome!
@@CassandraRi do u have any social media, I feel like you'll help me a lot

Jobs come and go, but the lessons and skills/experience can last a lifetime.
I just got my CJO from a smaller company and thought I would move on from them after getting experience but at the interview of this smaller company and saw how family oriented they are I decided that I wanted to stay there and grow on as much as I can and your just showed my that delta is just not it. So sorry this happened to you
I’m in a similar situation as you.
I got laid off from my job after 26 years last September. I thought I would stay there for life and this is a private company with no union or anything and once they laid you off that’s it.
I also applied to be a FA for a low cost carrier here in Canada 🇨🇦 and I’m extremely worried about the training once I get hired. It is 4 weeks we were told and extremely hard. What are your tips to passing the training??
Thank You for your Video! I was working for a staffing agency and the president there had a ghetto way of doing things yet in the end on the day I was turminated (with unemployment) I was given this NASTY bull crap termination letter of my actions there. Good thing I left because the job was determental to my health. This video shows me I'm not alone and what you went through was similar to me. Thank You!
Unfortunately, even if the union had been present, during probationary period the FAs are not represented. Very unfortunate, but it’s the truth.
Cars can pull over to the side of a road and wait. Boats can temporarily stop moving on an ocean and wait. Trains on rails can come to a stop and wait. But airplanes for some strange reason need to keep moving at all times or they'll crash. Now tell me how flying is "the safest mode of transport".
Life is about Experience... Never give up you Always have options
Hi, have a question if you are driving to work, does the airline provide you with parking priviledge for the airport? And if so im NYC is it valid for all 3 airports?
Hi there! Yes, for JFK and LaGuardia there's staff parking and a shuttle that takes you to the airport. For Newark it's a little weird - you can park at a hotel and check in with your name, saying you're working for Delta then it's free parking for your entire trip. It's a little-known secret. I wish I could give you all the details, but it's been three years since I was a FA. I hope this helps!
The airline industry has a history of abusing flight attendants. It wasn’t that long ago they didn’t even have regulations around rest periods! Even when there’s a union there’s a lot that people get away with just with seniority and their positioning within the company. I went through a similar situation as you and looking back it was a blessing in disguise. Working in the industry requires one to cater their lifestyle around the job and other aspects of our lives suffer because of it. Not worth it!
I’m so happy to hear it was a blessing in disguise for you! Yeah the industry really can be rough - it’s awesome to know everything worked out for you :)
Thank you. This was two years ago. What was your next move?
