DELTA Interview Questions
& Process

Okay, here's the rundown! First, you get to campus and grab your ID from security. Then, head over to the FA recruitment building across the street. You'll chill in the lobby with everyone else waiting for your turn. Someone will come out, greet you, and hand out water and cookies. After check-in, they'll split you into two groups, A and B, and you'll all walk to a big meeting room. A video about Delta will play. Then, group A usually does a group activity. After that, you'll go straight into a one-on-one F2F interview with a Flight Attendant – they're super calm and nice, making it feel like a chat. You'll then do an exercise where you act out a flight attendant duty. Next, you head back out to mingle with the Delta team. Later, you'll sit down again, and now group A will do their F2F interview. Everyone reconvenes in the big room for a Q&A session. While they're answering questions, they're also picking the two people they like out of the 75 interviewed – no clear reason why. They'll call you to board the bus and send you home, letting you know you didn't get the job but they'll be in touch within 7-10 business days.

The interview process typically involves creating a job description, advertising the role, arranging interviews, conducting initial interviews, holding in-person interviews, following up with candidates, and finally making an offer. As a candidate, you should anticipate several interviews with various team members, where the atmosphere is friendly and semi-formal, and the questions are insightful and detailed. Recruiters usually manage the scheduling, coordinating between the hiring team, candidates, and other involved parties. It's important to share key information, write engaging job descriptions that accurately reflect the position and its requirements, include a summary of your company and its main achievements, and inform candidates if a group interview is part of the process.

It’s definitely a long process with a video interview, a 1:1 interview, and an in-person interview, but it’s worth it! The in-person part, they ask you not to share what happens there, but it’s 3 different parts and takes about 4 hours. They fly you out to Atlanta which is nice.

The process is what you make it but I have to say it was the strangest interview I’ve ever had. The hiring staff of Delta Air Lines are a bunch of weirdos, it’s almost like they’re a cult or out of some sort of scary movie. It is most certainly some kind of weird popularity contest and they are so fake and pretentious it’s horrifying. If you ignore that part of it and just have fun with the others interviewing, it can be a position time. They split you up into groups, one group does the face to face interview which is quick. Only like 4 questions all situational based to be answered with the STAR method and the other group does an activity, where you are judged and watched uncomfortably. You load a cart with a group like you would on an aircraft, they’re really looking to see how you interact with others and then ask you some questions about your group afterwards. It’s a lot of mingling and getting to know people for the most part. They casually ask questions like “why delta” and “why a flight attendant” so be mindful of that. At the end they straight up lie to you and tell you’ll get an email if you got the CJO. It’s not true, they send you off in zones and the last zone to stay behind gets the CJO. If someone in this group doesn’t meet the requirements, then they will reach out to someone in the second to last group to fill their place. Put your best foot forward, keep your head up, a smile on your face. And if it’s your dream, persevere until you get in. Don’t give up!
