Delta to hire 225 new flight attendants this fall

June 28, 2013

Delta will hire 225 new flight attendants this fall as it begins preparing staffing levels for 2014. While more flight attendants will be hired next year as well, In-Flight Service leaders decided to begin the process early to spread out demand at the Atlanta Training Center as well as provide greater flexibility to handle new mainline flying.

The new hires will not be part of Delta’s Language of Destination program for foreign language speakers and will come from an existing pool of competitive applicants who applied or were referred for flight attendant positions during the open application window earlier this year. The positions will not be reposted on eBid or delta.com, and IFS will not be requesting referrals.

“It’s always exciting to announce flight attendant hiring because it means we’re all doing our part to create a prosperous, growing airline,” Joanne Smith, s.v.p.-IFS, said in a memo today. “Stay tuned for an additional 2014 hiring announcement later this summer.”
