- Hey, guys!
In this video I'll be talking to you about the process of becoming a flight attendant for Delta Air Lines, as well as some tips and tricks I learned along the way.
Update: I've received questions about whether you can still be hired if not asked to hang back after the F2F interview. 100% you can! Most people I met on the line didn't receive job offers on the spot. Please keep that in mind :)
Thanks for watching and feel free to subscribe if you enjoy my content :)
![5 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Became a Delta Flight Attendant [ENHANCED AUDIO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/f4jHwzXSIQ8/mqdefault.jpg)
Hi Cassandra , first i would like to thank you on this amazingly informative video you made , Secondly i would like to ask how many questions did u have on video interview , and how many questions did they ask you on face to face interview?
Love your channel! I was also a music major in college (piano). I also just applied for an FA with Delta! Your information is so helpful. Thanks for the great videos!
Hey there! Any time, so happy to hear they've helped you and nice to meet a fellow music major! Wishing you the very best in your FA journey! :)
I have my face to face in January, this was so helpful and calmed my nerves a bit! Would you say you would want to be bubbly and outgoing as much as possible?
Hey there, Lauren! Congratulations on the F2F interview! So happy it helped you :)
I would say be a heightened version of yourself.
If you're not usually outgoing, you don't need to be the leader of the group.
Make casual conversation with the person next to you and then, if you make eye contact with someone who's on their own, ask them a question and engage that way.
Bubbly is always good, the biggest thing is to keep smiling and maintain a positive mindset!
(Also, keep in mind that if they don't call your name at the end of the interview, that doesn't mean you won't get hired.)
Wishing you the very best for your interview! I'm sure you're going to do great :)
hi Lauren! how was your interview ? I have my interview soon. I'm very excited but also very nervous
@@leticiasouzaphoto it was great! I’ve been flying with delta for a month now!
@@leticiasouzaphoto don’t be nervous just be yourself this video really helped me
Yes!!! You have no idea how grateful I am that you made this video! Great information 💕💕
Any time, so happy to help! ❤️
THANK YOU so much for sharing your experience on this highly coveted job!
Any time! So glad to help!
They're no longer providing hotel accommodations for the interview
Thank you for the insight to the process! I have my face to face in a few weeks. Unfortunately, Delta is no longer paying for the hotels and related expenses if we choose to fly down the night before our interview. However, I'm glad to know that we won't have to keep our luggage at the hotels during the interview process. (Of course, I will send a follow up email to Delta to confirm that this is still the case.)
I have mine today. Hotel and tranportation is not provided. Only the flight
Thanks for the update! I interviewed in 2017 so the information is much appreciated. Good luck on your F2F, I'm sure you'll do great!
Thank you!
Did you bring your documents to the F2F interview?
How long did you have to wait Before you started training? Did you get paid while training?
I would love to know about training. Which week was the hardest
I'd have to say the last week was the hardest - there's a "final" at the end of training, where we put together everything we know and it's a pass or fail
Thank you for this video!!! This really helped me pass my F2F!
So glad it could help you! Congratulations on passing the F2F! :)
Hey Cassandra during the interview did they provided a locker to put your stuffs?
Hey there! They do provide an area to put your belongings. They were more like cubbies than lockers but it's a safe area with cameras everywhere, so it's likely nobody would steal your things :)
What is the work life balance for being a flight attendant? Great video by the way! Thank you for sharing information about your experience with the interview process!
Any time, so glad you liked it! :) it can be tricky at first, but once you get into the swing of things, it's about 3 days on then 3-4 days off.
You can move around your schedule and swap trips with other flight attendants to make your schedule work for you, but there's no guarantee you'll get the trips you want :)
Hi Cassandra! I’m planning to apply with DL as a f/a when they open in the fall of 2021.My question is:I worked for a major airline as a f/a for 30 yrs,will that be a positive or negative as far as being considered? Thanks….Jorge
hey there, Jorge! That's fantastic to hear! It's great on the resume since it shows you have experience in the profession and know what to expect on the line.
The biggest thing that gets FA's from other airlines is comparing their old company their new one.
So long as you're willing to be malleable and restructure yourself according to Delta's standards, policies, etc. you'll be just fine!
Hello! Thanks for all of this great information. I do have a question. I always hear with being a flight attendant, it can be hard since being away from family is going to be often. At the same time you always hear “you’re always going to be off 3-4 days in a row even- sometimes even a week at a time! You’ll always be there to spend time and raise your family” can you clarify, if you don’t mind?
Thank you
Hello, Brittany! Of course - so when abiding by an airline's schedule, you'll normally be off 3-4 days, etc. as you mentioned. You'll also have trips that last up to 3 days (2-3 is usually the norm).
So it's kind of a balancing act.
You work 2-3 days, traveling around, then you come home.
The great thing about a career in aviation is, once you leave the airport, you have no work to do at home.
You have a few days off to spend with family (it can be during the weekday while most people are at work) and then you head back to work after those days are up!
It's definitely doable to have this career and a family so long as there's support while you're away on trips :)
I hope this helps!
Hey, a quick question. Is there any max age limit ? For instance I've heard that Emirates has some what around 29-30 age limit. Thanx for the amazing video !
hey there! There is no age limit, so long as you are able-bodied and capable the age doesn't matter. I know Delta flight attendants in my class who got hired at 45 and met some on the line who were over 60. Glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@CassandraRi oohhh that’s great to know ! Thank you for your amazing insights 😉😍
What kind/color ascot did you wear? How did you wear it? Can you link it with images of the outfit you wore?
Hi there! I wore a kelly green ascot - folded it to about in inch thick and double-knotted it. I'll see if I can find a photo!
@@CassandraRi thank you for replying!! Kelly Green matches with my business suit. I will try that ^.^
Oh I'm ready.
I have an interview scheduled with DL and your videos are so helpful. I’m so happy to know that the questions for the f2f are all on Glassdoor. And now I know what to do when they invite me over to interview as well. This is probably the best video about the DL interview because you go over everything. I know what to wear and to smile and be sociable. Thank you! And it’s great to see female pilots!
Any time, happy I could help! Wishing you the best of luck on your interview! :)
*Update:
I got invited to the f2f!!! I’m so excited!! Thank you again 💜 any tips on how to stand out in a group full of people?
@@bre7931 congratulations, Bre!! You’re going to do great :) just be a team player and never stop smiling is my advice. Study the Glassdoor questions for your f2f because they’ll ask you those questions and you should be good! Feel free to send an update when you get through! So happy for you! :)
@@bre7931 have you had your interview yet ? I got invited to my f2f the end of this month
Thanks for the videos really helpful. Just a question if your interviewed through online everything mentioned will assessed online? Also if you get hired is on the spot?
Happy to help! Yes, everything begins online. The only time you'll have to meet in person will be the face-to-face interview (after the initial submission of your resume and then online interview).
From there they can potentially hire you on the spot. This doesn't happen for most people during the interview, however. Even if you don't receive that offer, it doesn't mean you won't get hired at all. Hope that helps!
@@CassandraRi thank you so much for letting me know. Hopefully to hear from them soon ☺️
I love your energy! Thanks for sharing your experience so thoroughly in this video
Hey hey love your page. If you are not asked to stay behind at Event Day do you still have a chance at the job?
hey there! Yes, 100% - most people whom I met in training/working on the line didn't receive offers on the spot
Hello Cassandra New subbie here. Love your channel!
Hey, Linda! So glad that you're here and welcome! Is there anything you'd like to see more of for future videos?
Hey girl, could you give us more detailed info on training? Tips, advice, etc.
Hi, Jackie! I'm sorry I never saw this comment until now - while you're in training, the biggest tip I can offer is make sure to follow the rules of dress code and be sure to show up on time if not early.
They're very big on these things and you can risk getting pulled from training if you don't abide by them. I posted a video this past month on my experience during training along with some tips, tricks, and insights. Hope that helps! :)
Hi how long does it take for the background check to clear? Is a month or so a normal thing?
Hi there! It took about two weeks I believe for my background check to clear. It doesn't take very long at all
I’m not that outgoing. Last f2f interview we had to organise the cart n serve a passenger. I was the oldest n the only man, the other 3 were FA already. I couldn’t insert myself, n they plain ignored me. It is totally my fault, but any tips on how to avoid this to happen again? I hv a F2F interview with delta end of August
Are there any specific requirements/qualifications to be considered? Thanks.
Yes! Of course speaking English/being able to work in U.S. without being sponsored is a given - after that, they look for someone who has graduated high school (having a college degree is preferred), has over 1 year experience in customer service, and has asserted a role ensuring the safety/care of others in the past. This could be working as a security guard, doing your first aid training course, even caring for a loved one. The more diverse your resume is, the more you’ll stand out :) hope this helps!
Thank you for this video! It’s so helpful! Just wondering if they require you to be Covid vaccinated at your interview or when you receive the CJO?
Hi Cassandra - when does the base assignment happen? I guess I didn’t think things through and I can’t quit my current job without knowing that they aren’t going to send me somewhere that’s a deal breaker. Also is commuting realistic?
Hello Cassandra, such valuable information. I am from India, I know the Hindi language, so should I need to learn French or German?
Hello, Christina! So happy to help :) no you don’t need to learn any other language except English. When I was working, I knew they were short on German translators but that’s only a plus to getting hired. They don’t take that into consideration really when you’re being interviewed - they’re more interested in whether you’ll fit in with the Delta culture or not (respectful, positive, considerate, happy to serve, etc.)
@@CassandraRi 🤗🤗
Thank you for your videos. I hope you're able to achieve your pilot dream if you haven't already (my dad had his private license since before I was born and we flew a lot). When you went through training, were there any middle-age trainees or is everyone in there 30s and younger? Or did you hear of any from previous classes? I'm surprised that nobody ever brings up the age questions. I know it can't be discriminated against. But more out of curiosity. I'm not going to say how old I am but I still feel I can meet the qualifications. I have a high school friend that's been a f/a with Alaska for 25+ years and loves it and with my EMS/fire background I understand that will also help me out.
Hi Cassandra ! how long did it take from the moment they invited you to be part of the company until the training ? I'm having my f2f soon, im very excited but also very nervous. Thank you !
Thanks for these videos ! I have my video interview coming on the 12th so wish me luck ! Though I’m a current cabin crew but delta is the dream so wish me luck ! And thank u again I’m subscribed for life
How did it go? 🥰
@@TaniaThePlug unfortunately I was out of country at the day of my interview and my stupid self totally miscalculated the interview time due to time difference . I wrote them begged and plead and explained to them that I didn’t miss it
Intentionally I had calculated the time difference incorrect but they said no I was out of the race ! Told me to re apply after three months. I was so upset at myself for not being able to figure out time difference incorrectly but on the other side of the coin I thought they were kind of mean and didn’t care what anyone has to say. I thought it was shady of them! Almost every airline that hires people usually can make an accommodation but delta was rude, quick, cut throat and shady! Speaks volumes! Oh well ! I guess Allah / God didn’t want me to work for them yet! If the time was right he would have pushed me forward! I always leave all life happening at his mercy and he takes care of me! I know he has something better for me or a better time for me to be there
@@EatPrayShop wow! I’m sorry that happened! But everything definitely happens for a reason and I believe that God has something better in store for you if things didn’t work out! 🥰 thank you for responding
@@TaniaThePlug thank u so much! It means a lot! Are u a current cabin crew or an inspiring one
@@EatPrayShop I’m A current cabin crew member about to graduate very soon ❤️
Would love to learn more about the 2 month training and what it entails.
Sure thing! I’m posting a pilot-related video this weekend, but the training video should be up right after that :)
Hey Cassandra I heard that once you are at F2F it’s good to talk to everyone including recruiting teams and colleagues but I feel like it’s impossible to talk to everyone. Since everyone is gonna want to talk to recruiters, do you have any tips?
is the final multiple choice?
Do you mean the final while we’re in training? Our biggest final is at the end of our 2-month training period where we’re put in simulators to neutralize emergencies. That’s a pass or fail. We take quizzes and exams at a computer, as well, and those are multiple choice. Hope that helps!
Thank you for this video! How many questions were you asked in the private interview?
Very helpful! Thank you 😊
Happy to help! :)
What is the average height to become a Delta flight attendant?
What's the Height requirements ?
Did they fly you down on Delta?
They did! It was free travel there and back :)
What they asked you live video?
This is so
Amazing
so glad you liked it! :)
@@CassandraRi that was my dream job but I suffer from anxiety and also have cerabal palsy I find packing sounds and airports so relaxing
@@james22939 well if it makes you feel better, being a flight attendant isn't very relaxing lol but I totally agree when you're a passenger, it's super relaxing!
@@CassandraRi I miss the zipper sounds from suitcases
Thank You so much!!! :)
Any time! Happy to help :)
@@CassandraRi My face to face is tomorrow 🤞🏾
@@travielharrison4394 hey! Good luck, you're going to do great! (Also just so you know, if they don't call your name to stay behind at the end it doesn't mean you don't get hired, so enjoy the journey as much as you can!) 💜
@@CassandraRi Thank you so much. I appreciate you.
I didn't get get the job but I wanted to thank you for your help. ✊🏽
should I ware a regular watch or apple watch for F2F ?😌
Hi there! For the sake of distraction, I’d recommend a regular watch. Helps you concentrate and Apple watches are prohibited during training so you’d look the part already :)
thank you so much 🙏🏽
@@faheesahsartgallery7035 of course! Sending all the best to you for your f2f, you’re going to do great!
@@CassandraRi thank you greatly appreciated 🤍
Interesting).
You get pay salary or hourly?
Very helpful!
So glad you think so! :)
Following up-I attended the f2f interview and while I felt I did okay, I wasn't offered a position. I'm not sure exactly how they select people. Very disappointing, as I was so excited and optimistic.
I don't know if there's a realistic chance that they will contact me down the line or not. I plan to apply with other airlines, however, as I really want to be a flight attendant. Delta is a great company, but they are not the only airline. out there.
@@PthaloGreen2 hey there - I'm sorry you weren't given an offer on the spot, but if it helps majority of people don't have that happen. You don't need this in order to hear back from Delta. In fact, most of the people I met in training didn't receive an offer on the spot. Diversifying by applying to other airlines is a great idea! I know this feels disappointing, but I'm sure you did a great job. Keep on keeping on and you'll become a FA :)
@@CassandraRi Thanks, Cassandra. Well, this is interesting. I appreciate your view. So you know of people who received offers by email or phone call AFTER the interview day then? I had been led to believe that didn't happen ever-or almost never, at least. However, I'm not sure I believe that. I'm not sure what to believe, actually. 😬🤔
@@PthaloGreen2 hello there. Yes, majority of people I know didn't receive an offer on the spot. This doesn't mean, of course, you'll hear back, but it doesn't mean you won't.
Wishing you the best of luck!
Hi, my video interview is in 2 weeks I’ve watched all of your videos and it’s so helpful! Do you offer mock interviews at all I’m nervous now your video helped but the actual recording has me worried
Hey there! Congrats on your interview and I’m so glad they could help! I’m happy to do a mock interview if you like :)
@@CassandraRi is there a way to write you directly on here? I’m still new to TH-cam 😩
@@meaghanbrown7351 haha no worries! There isn’t but do you have Instagram? You could message me on there if you have it :)
Any update
