The Atlanta-based airline announced that they
will hire 1,000 flight attendants for 2018.
The average entry-level flight attendant at
Delta earns about $25,000 a year, “with an opportunity to earn more depending
upon schedule,” according to the airline.
Atlanta-based Delta said applicants must have a
high school degree or GED, be at least 21 years old, be able to work in the
United States and be fluent in English.Flight attendants also can’t have
visible tattoos, body piercings or multiple ear piercings, according to Delta.
The ideal candidate is also fluent in a
language other than English, has education beyond high school and more than a
year of experience in customer service, patient care or a similar role. Other
experience that helps includes work to ensure the safety or care of others such
as a teacher, military, EMT, firefighter, coach, law enforcement, lifeguard or
nurse, according to Delta.
Those who are multi-lingual and get hired as
“language of destination” flight attendants get premium pay and can travel more
often to destinations where their second language is spoken, according to
Delta.
New hires go through eight weeks of training in
Atlanta and get paid a training wage. There’s also some lodging for those who
don’t live in the area.
About 150,000 people applied for about 1,200
flight attendant positions last year, and fewer than 1 percent of applicants
were selected, according to the airline.
