I have applied with Delta more then 6 times and can not get passed the video process. It’s Super competitive. I really want work for them, but it’s Very disappointing. I’m currently a FA for a regional carrier, and have worked the Delta brand for more then 10 years. But thank you so much for the information.
Any insight into how work/life balance works in these kind of jobs? Does Delta try to work with you to stay on a stable leg of traffic to keep you close to home, or could you be flying into or out of anywhere for a stretch of time?
Thank you so much. That’s what I needed to hear.
