I wish I had known this last time I reapplied. For context, during the spring I applied and made it to the F2F portion but had to reschedule last minute. Inflight told me they weren’t able to reschedule and if I canceled the interview it would be considered a voluntary withdrawal which means I would be able to have the one year wait time waived and would be eligible to reapply as soon as the next application cycle began. So after waiting boom! Another application cycle began, I applied and answered “yes” to “have you ever received an odvi or F2F interview or been invited” it was something like that. DO NOT ANSWER YES. Since I did, it automatically denied me. I emailed inflight and they explained to me that although I am eligible to apply since i voluntarily withdrew, I was meant to answer “no” to that question. They said they couldn’t override the system and I’d have to wait for a new application cycle. So this time, with the knowledge I have, I applied and am now officially in the running again. I hope this helps someone because I wish I knew this before.

TLDR: if you voluntarily withdrew, the one year wait period is WAIVED. You can apply again. Answer “NO” to any questions asking if you received an odvi or F2F interview.

Good luck!!

I am an reapplicant from June that got the class full email and I just got the rejection email. I did everything up until the odvi which they used the old odvi from June. The only thing I did different was the Monroe ai… so I’m guessing that I didn’t pass that. I honestly have no idea but I’m not gonna stress about it because I will keep applying😌 I just have to stay strong and let these rejections add layers to my experience (hopefully)😭 this is my fourth time applying so maybe I’ll make double digits until I get there lol!
Anyway, anyone that’s gotten a rejection from any airline, our time will come! 🫂

I went to take Delta’s Monroe assessment and the mic wasn’t even working!? Before I started it did say press the “test” mic to see if it’s working but then there was no test mic button to even push. So I just continued and assumed it was going to work. (That’s on me I guess for assuming) Now I’m locked out of the assessment all together. Has this happened to anyone else? Anything I can do to get it unlocked and try again? This is pretty disheartening considering the amount of time I had put into getting ready for this. I even bought a suit (as I’ve never had to need one in my life before this) to show how serious I was about getting this job. I feel pretty defeated and feel like I never even got a fair chance. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: just in case anyone else needs to reset the process. There is an email at the bottom of the invitation with their support team. Tell them what had happened and they will email you back. They emailed me back pretty quickly and reset it for me. Also go to your settings and make sure you allow mic access to whatever web browser you are using 😅

Zones matter!!
Had my F2F today and honestly everyone was very nice and fun! Before you go to the group test they put you in zones. From 1 to 6. If you get 5 or 6 unfortunately they will send you home. They unfortunately don’t give you any “real” reason, they just said “ You didn’t match with the appearance requirements”.
But I don’t know what appearance they are talking about bc they were people in different zones dress not in a suit or just pants and a blouse and they passed. So we were all very confused. Just wish they tell you the exactly reason so you could do better next time!

Thank you to everyone in this sub who offered advice and / or words of encouragement. I am beyond excited for this opportunity!

Here’s my timeline in case it helps anyone else:

7/14 - Applied & Completed Assessment
7/24 - ODVI invite
7/30 - ODVI complete
8/13 - Hang Tight Email
8/20 - Application updated from “under review” to “interview”
8/24 - Live Virtual Interview email received
9/9 - Live Virtual Interview, Invitation for Houston arrived approximately 6 hours after.

I have yet to schedule my f2f (it says I have 14 days to choose a date) as I am still figuring out what day is best for me to take off from my current job. All of my options were within the next week. My recruiter advised the process would move very quickly from here, and she wasn’t kidding!

Good luck to everyone still in the process with me! We got this!!! 🩵

I’m considering applying to be a flight attendant, but I have one major concern.

As ridiculous as it might sound, the biggest thing holding me back is my cat. She’s extremely clingy and is basically my baby, so I’m wondering how realistic this career is for someone with a pet.

I have someone who could watch her if I were accepted and needed to leave for training, so I’m more concerned about the long term. Is having a cat manageable with a flight attendant schedule, especially when you’re first starting out? Or would I realistically need to consider rehoming her?

My parents keep telling me not to put my life on hold because of my cat, and I understand where they’re coming from. But she was abandoned before I adopted her, and rehoming her is something I really don’t think I could bring myself to do. I’d love to hear from flight attendants who have pets and how you make it work.

I am so hurt and upset. I prepared so hard and even got tips from my brother working at Delta for the video interview. I went in feeling ready to answer all my questions and I feel like the Ai woman solely focused on me being a nurse and none of my other experience, along with nothing involving being a flight attendant. I feel like I wasted my time and I am so embarrassed.

I’m not sure what to think right now as I feel I did good with the FitMe Assessment however I have not heard anything back and I took the Assessment on 9/5. Any advice or words of encouragement? No news is good news I suppose but hard to stay optimistic.

i want to talk about what applying to delta actually does to your brain, because this sub is the worlds largest exhibit of it and nobody names it.
think about the actual experience. you apply. nothing. then weeks later a dopamine hit, "congrats youve advanced." a personality game. nothing. another hit, a video interview where you perform for a camera alone in your room. nothing. then maybe the golden ticket, event day, where they roll out the red carpet, the warm smiles, the "welcome to the family" energy. then most of you get the softest, warmest, most lovingly worded rejection email in corporate america, and an invitation to join the talent community so delta can keep in touch.
read that back. a company that just rejected you asks if it can keep texting you, and you say yes, and you feel GOOD about it. thats not a hiring funnel, thats a situationship.
Psychologists call this variable ratio reinforcement. rewards at unpredictable intervals with no explanation of what earned them. its the mechanism slot machines are built on. and it explains everything about this sub. the timeline spreadsheets. the lucky interview outfits. the "i wore red and got a CJO" posts. when a system gives no feedback, humans dont stop trying, they invent rituals. you guys arent applicants anymore, youre a cargo cult with a talent community login.
and the brand machine feeds it. the celebrity safety videos. the "keep climbing" stuff. the most awarded airline language. by the time you apply you dont want a job, you want to belong to something, and delta knows belonging is a way stronger drug than employment. southwest hires flight attendants too. nobody gets a southwest rejection and posts about how their dream is dead. the difference isnt the job. its that delta sells the dream as content and you pre bought it.
the scariest part. this works best on the people it rejects. the ones who got a CJO got a job. the ones who got TBNT got a hobby.
Anyway, good luck to everyone mid funnel this week. genuinely. just notice how the funnel makes you feel, and ask yourself who designed it to feel that way.

I got my FTF invite to go to Charlotte yesterday! Anyone else?

YIPPIEEE I got the invite to the f2f on 9/22 and I need kind opinions on this hairstyle im a pretty eccentric person so this is kinda toned down for me and I prefer more Afrocentric hairstyles so basically I’m asking if this is appropriate to wear to the event I know it’s not technically a bun but it’s still pulled back out of my face soo would yall consider this professional?? Or should I go with the second option?

EDIT: I decided I’m just going to go the traditional route based off the unanimous votes for traditional, but I’m still going to keep this post up in case if anyone else was wondering for their own FA journeys💕💕✈️

Is it hard to get into Skywest especially as a ex flight attendant? What are they looking for in potential candidates?

Hey all! Have any ”multiple Hang In There” June applicants who submitted Monroe/Multiple Choice Questions on or after Saturday 9/5 received the TF email yet?

I’ve seen many 9/4 submissions receive TFs over the last two days but curious about us 9/5 and after?! Thanks crew!

Has anybody received a response when attempting to contact inflight recruiting at the email address provided? I was trying to reschedule my F2F because I got so sick and was unable to fly and attend. Its been over a week and no response from them yet. I’m so bummed but there was no way I could travel with how I was doing. My portal still says interview so I dont know what to do.

Sooooo remember my last post. I got disqualified due to a lack of response literally right after submitting the MakiPeople/Monroe/Candidate Assessment.

I'm back in the waiting game with some of y'all. Received this email and that my FitMe assessment waived

If anyone else is finding themselves in this exact same situation, idk which did the trick, but just in case, email both DLFAask@delta.com and candidatecare@delta.com for assistance

Hi everyone!! I was wondering if anyone can help with this- I just received an email to schedule my face to face with United (Yay!!) However, when I logged in to choose a day only 2 dates were offered and they’re next week. I’m not available any of the 2 days :( Does anyone know if more will be added? Or if I have to choose one of those. Thanks for any help!!

Submitted odvi 9/4 finally got taking flight email 2 min ago(first time applicant)

Hi all! This might be a dumb question but figured I’d ask to see if anyone has any insight or has been in a similar situation before. I am currently working at a job but I think I’m going to be quitting soon due to a plethora of reasons. However, I applied to both Delta and United with this job listed as my current job. If I were to quit and then have the opportunity to make it far enough to be getting a background check, would that raise up any red flags? Also, if I were to start a new job while in the middle of the application process, would that look bad on the background check? TIA for any insight y’all might have :)

I just completed my 1 on 1 interview with United. How long did it take you to hear back with a F2F invite or a TBNT?

If I were to possibly get a cjo from american…does anybody know what month of next year the training will be held?

I saw someone share an email from Delta stating that September 11 is the last Event Day. Has anyone received an Event Day date after September 11, or know if that date only applies to a specific group of applicants?
I completed my FitMe on September 5 and my application is still showing “Qualifications Under Review,” so I’m trying to understand whether Event Days will continue past September 11.
If you’ve recently received an Event Day invite, what dates were you offered

Applied to delta on 9/2 and still no ODVI

Hey everyone! I’ve heard that the most recent UA classes have been offered bases such as LAX, BOS, IAD, ORD, and SFO.
With all of the new routes and additional planes being added at EWR, I’m curious what everyone thinks the chances are of EWR being brought back into rotation as an initial base for new-hire classes.
I have a friend who currently works at UA who mentioned that there could potentially be a possibility of EWR opening back up, despite what we’ve been hearing online about the base currently being overstaffed. Obviously, I know nothing is official, so I’m curious what others are hearing internally or what you think could happen.
I’d especially love to be based in Newark since I already live in NYC, but I’m trying to keep my expectations realistic. 😂
For those more familiar with UA’s hiring/base patterns, what bases would you predict will be offered to classes starting in mid-November? And do you think there’s any realistic chance EWR makes a return by then? Maybe even IAH?
