Delta Flight Attendant Hiring Process: What to Expect in 2026
Contents
ToggleThe Delta flight attendant hiring process in 2026 includes an application, two online assessments, a HireVue On-Demand Interview, an in-person Event Day, a Conditional Job Offer, pre-employment screening, and seven weeks of training.
Before beginning your preparation, check the Future Flight Attendant Job Board for Delta’s current application status.
Delta uses specific names for each stage, including the MakiPeople Candidate Assessment, Fitme Values Assessment, On-Demand Interview, and Event Day.
Understanding what each invitation and application status means can help you follow your progress without relying on rumors or treating every email as an acceptance or rejection.
What Delta Looks for in Flight Attendant Candidates
Delta’s hiring leaders look for flight attendant candidates who consistently prioritize safety while creating a welcoming, elevated, and caring customer experience. Strong candidates communicate clearly and empathetically, remain professional under pressure, and adapt when operational needs change.
The role also requires reliability, sound judgment, teamwork, and the confidence to make thoughtful decisions when immediate leadership guidance is unavailable. Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate Delta’s values of Care, Integrity, Resilience, Servant Leadership, and Teamwork through their actions and communication.
Knowing what Delta values is only the beginning. You must be able to demonstrate those qualities throughout the application, assessments, On-Demand Interview, and Event Day. The Flight Attendant Interview Success Program teaches you how to select relevant experiences, communicate them effectively, and prepare for each hiring stage without memorizing scripted answers.

Delta Flight Attendant Hiring Process
Delta’s current flight attendant hiring process includes seven stages:
- Flight Attendant Application
Submit one complete application through Delta Careers using your existing candidate profile. - MakiPeople Candidate Assessment
Complete Delta’s immersive Candidate Assessment and learn more about the flight attendant role. - Fitme Values Assessment
Complete a short assessment designed to evaluate alignment with Delta’s values-based workplace. - HireVue On-Demand Interview
Record and submit a self-paced video interview before the deadline provided by Delta. - In-Person Event Day
Attend an in-person interview event at Delta’s headquarters in Atlanta. - Conditional Job Offer
Successful Event Day candidates may receive a Conditional Job Offer, subject to Delta’s pre-employment requirements. - In-Person Flight Attendant Training
After completing the pre-employment requirements, attend seven consecutive weeks of paid training in Atlanta.
Candidates who are not selected may reapply no sooner than six months after disqualification and when Delta posts a new job requisition number, unless their disposition email provides different instructions.
Candidates must continue using the same Delta Careers profile. Attempts to bypass Delta’s application policy by creating additional profiles may lead to automatic rejection or future application restrictions.
Delta Flight Attendant Application Process
The first step in the Delta flight attendant application process is submitting one complete application through Delta Careers while a flight attendant requisition is available.
Use your existing Delta candidate profile rather than creating a new one for each hiring cycle.
Set aside uninterrupted time before beginning. Read every question carefully, confirm your employment dates and other required information, and review every response before submitting.
Delta states that application answers cannot be changed after submission, although you may update contact information through your candidate profile.
Your application and resume should present a consistent picture of your experience, qualifications, and readiness for the role. Names, employment dates, job titles, and other important details should agree across both documents.
Delta currently allows applicants to upload a resume, although it may not be required when the initial application is submitted. This applies only to the initial application stage and does not mean candidates will never need a resume during the hiring process.
Even when the initial upload is optional, a professionally written flight attendant resume can present your transferable skills and qualifications clearly while supporting the information provided in your application.
Delta Flight Attendant Application Status Meanings
Delta candidates often try to predict hiring decisions by watching small changes in their candidate profiles.
Delta does not publish a definitive explanation of every portal status, and the same status may appear at more than one stage. Your email from Delta’s Talent team is the authoritative source for invitations, deadlines, and hiring decisions.
Application Submitted
Application Submitted generally confirms that Delta received your application. It does not indicate whether you will advance.
Continue monitoring the email address associated with your candidate profile.
Application in Progress
Application in Progress means your application remains active in Delta’s system. It should not be treated as an interview invitation, rejection, or prediction of the final outcome.
Qualifications Under Review
Qualifications Under Review means Delta is reviewing your information or processing your application at its current stage.
Candidates may see this status before or after completing another hiring step. It is not, by itself, confirmation that you passed or failed.
Assessment in Progress
Assessment in Progress generally indicates that an assessment has been assigned, started, submitted, or is being processed.
Follow the instructions and deadline in your email rather than relying only on the portal wording.
Interviewing
Interviewing indicates that your application has reached an interview stage.
The invitation email will tell you whether your next step is the HireVue On-Demand Interview, Event Day scheduling, or another required action.
No Event Day Dates Available
Receiving an Event Day invitation but seeing an empty scheduling calendar does not automatically mean you were rejected.
Interview appointments may not yet have been released or may have filled temporarily. Follow Delta’s instructions, check the calendar again, and monitor your email for updates.
Not Selected to Advance
Not Selected to Advance means Delta has ended your candidacy for that requisition.
Follow the instructions in your disposition email because it determines when you may submit another application.
Portal language and timelines can change. Avoid relying on color changes, disappearing buttons, or internet theories as proof of an outcome.
Until Delta communicates a decision, your status is still pending.
Delta Flight Attendant Assessments
Candidates invited to continue after the application complete two separate online assessments.
Each Delta flight attendant assessment has a different purpose, so read every email and instruction carefully.
MakiPeople Candidate Assessment
The first assessment is Delta’s immersive Candidate Assessment delivered through MakiPeople.
It introduces candidates to aspects of the flight attendant role while evaluating their responses within a structured online experience.
Fitme Values Assessment
Candidates who advance complete a shorter Values Assessment administered through Fitme.
This assessment evaluates alignment with Delta’s values-based workplace.
Delta recommends completing both assessments in a quiet environment without distractions and answering honestly.
Follow the deadline and technical instructions provided in your invitation email. Candidates who successfully complete the Fitme Values Assessment may then be invited to the HireVue On-Demand Interview.
Delta Flight Attendant Interview Process
The Delta flight attendant interview process includes two stages: the HireVue On-Demand Interview and the in-person Event Day at Delta’s headquarters in Atlanta.
The On-Demand Interview allows Delta’s hiring team to review your recorded responses.
Event Day allows trained flight attendant interviewers, Delta’s Talent team, and IFS Leadership to evaluate candidates in person.
Delta HireVue On-Demand Interview
If you pass the Fitme Values Assessment, Delta may invite you to complete an On-Demand Interview through HireVue.
This is not a live interview. You record and submit your responses on your own time, but you must complete the interview before Delta’s deadline.
Treat the self-recorded format as seriously as an in-person interview. Delta advises candidates to dress professionally, choose a quiet space with good lighting, and answer clearly and honestly.
Delta also warns candidates not to read prewritten answers from paper or another screen. Your responses should sound natural and reflect your actual experience.
Delta In-Person Event Day
If you advance after the On-Demand Interview, the next stage is Event Day at Delta’s headquarters in Atlanta.
This is the face-to-face portion of the interview process. Candidates may meet trained flight attendant interviewers, members of Delta’s Talent team, and IFS Leadership.
Delta uses Event Day to learn more about your experience while giving you a closer look at the airline and the flight attendant role.
Candidates selected after Event Day may receive a Conditional Job Offer. The offer remains contingent upon completing Delta’s pre-employment requirements.
Delta Flight Attendant Interview Attire
Your appearance matters during both the On-Demand Interview and Event Day. Delta advises candidates to wear clean, pressed, business-professional clothing.
A well-fitting black or navy suit paired with a white shirt or blouse is the safest choice. Clothing should look polished, conservative, and comfortable enough for the entire interview.
If you wear a dress or skirt, it should extend below the knee, and hosiery should be worn. Hair and grooming should look neat, controlled, and professional.
For complete guidance, read the Flight Attendant Interview Outfit Guide.

Successful flight attendant interviews require more than knowing what stages to expect. The Flight Attendant Interview Success Program teaches you how to communicate your experience clearly, prepare for video and face-to-face interviews, and demonstrate the qualities airlines evaluate without relying on memorized scripts.
Delta Flight Attendant Conditional Job Offer
Candidates selected after Event Day may receive a Conditional Job Offer, commonly called a CJO.
A CJO means Delta is inviting you to continue through the hiring process, but the offer remains contingent on successfully completing all remaining requirements, including the pre-employment steps and initial training.
Before training, candidates must complete Delta’s required paperwork, comprehensive background check, and DOT drug screening. Provide complete and accurate employment, address, education, and identification information because missing or inconsistent details can delay the process.
After the pre-employment requirements are cleared, Delta provides your training date and base assignment. From there, the process moves into initial training. For what happens next, read the Delta Flight Attendant Training guide.
Delta Flight Attendant Training
After successfully completing Delta’s required pre-employment process, candidates receive their training date and base assignment before beginning initial flight attendant training.
Delta flight attendant training is seven consecutive weeks of in-person instruction in Atlanta. Candidates must successfully complete the training requirements before graduating, receiving their wings, and becoming qualified Delta flight attendants.
For details about the training schedule, pay, lodging, daily logistics, and what to expect during the seven-week program, read the Delta Flight Attendant Training guide.
If you already have a CJO and are preparing for training, the Flight Attendant Training Prep Program helps you prepare for the experience before Day One.
Delta Flight Attendant Pay
Delta flight attendant compensation includes hourly flight pay, boarding pay, per diem, holiday pay, profit sharing, operational incentives, and other forms of additional compensation.
Actual earnings vary based on seniority, schedule, position, trip type, and the number of hours flown.
For current hourly rates, the complete pay scale, first-year earning estimates, and an explanation of each type of compensation, read the Delta Flight Attendant Pay Guide.
Delta Flight Attendant Bases
A flight attendant’s base is the location where assigned trips begin and end.
Delta provides new hires with the bases available to their training class. Candidates may submit preferences, but final assignments depend on operational needs and availability.
New hires cannot select any Delta base they want. They may choose only from the options Delta offers their training class.
New flight attendants must be willing to accept any available base assignment. They may relocate or become a commuting flight attendant, but they remain responsible for reporting to work on time.
Base availability and seniority can change. Review the Delta Flight Attendant Bases Guide for base locations, assignments, transfers, and Delta’s A-Day system.

Will they assign you to any base? Do you get to pick the base? If they pick the base for you do you have to move there? What really is the base, is this where you will leave for your flight?
Hello Karlie,
Delta Air Lines will assign new flight attendants to any of their bases where there is an operational need. You can put in your base preference, but the base award will be according to where they need you. A base is where you will be based, and all of your trips will originate and end at your base location. You don’t have to live at your base, you can commute.
This post The Commuting Flight Attendant & The Fascinating Way We Get To Work will be helpful for you to learn about commuting.
Is mask required in face to face interview? Was it ok to wear mask?
Hi Sonia, a mask is not required but flight attendant candidates are strongly urged to wear a mask during the Delta face to face interview.
I currently just got offered my first virtual interview. For the second one, in Atlanta. Do they pay for travel? Or is it out of pocket to go?
Hi Becc, congratulations on the F2F interview! Delta will fly you out there and back for free, but you will be responsible to pay for your hotel.
Does anyone know how long after the virtual interview comes the F2F interview? Days? Weeks? Months? Lots of conflicting information. My virtual interview is in a few days.
Hi Rae, congratulations on the VI! It’s always changing and timelines can vary from person to person that’s why the conflicting information. It seems to be a few weeks at the moment, but your timeline could be different.
I had my VI on Nov 2,2022 and I received my invitation for f2f interview on Nov 3, 2022. The email provided me with a calendar where I chose my actual f2f interview day.
Congrats, I have my Job Try Out can you tell me what to expect for this virtual session please
Thanks for all that great information on the flight attendant program… I now know what too pack and bring with me if I”m picked for the program and the do’ and don”s of how too be a great flight attendant…
You’re welcome Nadyia, best of luck to you during this exciting time in your future flight attendant career.
I received my CJO in Sep 2022 and still waiting for my training date as of Nov. Does anyone know how long it takes to report to training once you have received the CJO?
Hello Patty, did you receive your training date yet? I got my CJO in September as well and I received the email on the 14th to pick my training date.
My Event Day was 10/21/22 in Atlanta. I met lots of lovely, well-qualified people and had a wonderful time. During the day we were told “We will communicate with you about the results via e-mail in 7-10 days.” Several times we were told this. I am still waiting to hear, so I’m presuming it was a ‘no.’ When we left to return to the airport, we left in groups of about 8. I was in the third group released. While waiting for the elevator I heard a big cheer from the room we had just been in and surmised that the remaining candidates had been told they were invited to training. Delta might want to make sure all dismissed candidates are off the floor prior to telling remaining candidates that news. Given how quickly the process went for me, from step to step during the interviewing process, I’m quite disappointed that they couldn’t even click on the ‘thanks-but-no-thanks-feel-free-to-try-again-in-6-months’ generic email to those who didn’t make it. Especially after the multiple references to the “we communicate via email” song and dance. Really quite rude for a supposed ‘great company to work for.’
wow really? i just went to mines and was the first group to leave thanks for the heads up…
You still haven’t received an email , saying tbnt right ? Even after a couple months ?. They just say that to not get any negative response right ?
What personality traits pass the VI. To get a f2f interview?
Does Delta allow part-time or seasonal? I am currently a student, but would love to be a flight attendant summer/winter.
DELTA F2F Event Day
I am going to be completely honest, because I have friends who work for DELTA and feel the CURRENT PROCESS is a popularity contest, discriminatory, a scene from MEAN GIRLS, & juvenile, high school behavior.
You’re constantly reminded NOT TO POST on social media, and probably why is because this department at DELTA is setting themselves up for a DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT.
You’re instructed to get to know all DELTA FAs in the room but many look you up and down to then walked past you. Many of them clearly don’t fit properly in their own uniforms and then they tell you that they’re BEING THE BRAND FAs. They like to take a lot about themselves but don’t engage with you.
The galley beverage cart was pointless, because if you don’t take charge immediately, and someone trying to impress does, the entire process goes awry. You can’t even ask a question and if one does, you get a look like you killed their first born.’
When asked to go to a 767 door & 757 jump seat mock-up, the DELTA FAs left me standing with my arms up forever, then when I took the jumpseat, I was told to suck it in because I had to get myself fastened. The next guy was a 29 inch waist and I am a 36 inch waist. Did you have to take off your shoes for NO REASON & the guy after me was out so quick that I barely got my shoes on. My FAs were so busy chatting that I received almost no direction, very unprofessional and the male FA was larger than me who told me to suck in.
The hand out video session was pointless because the DELTA FAs don’t even go over the handout at all and instead took questions so they could talk about themselves..
There are 3 sessions where you are TOLD to introduce yourself to all of the DELTA FAs but NOT ONCE did a single DELTA FA introduce themself to me or other candidates that I was standing near.
Now this entire day all you are given is water when candidates have gotten up few hours after midnight to fly in and all you are told is how much DELTA CARES about it’s people and preaches the CORE VALUES.
In the email there’s no direction on how to find your way to transportation, no one answers the phone number provided and all you’re thinking about is being on time. Who has the time to stop and pay airport prices for food when you just want to get to your interview. Plus, the address provided is the WRONG BUILDING.
Now at the end of the day. they stress half a dozen times that you will be notified VIA AN EMAIL IN 7-10 days whether you are to receive an offer or an opportunity to keep trying. Everyone knows that out of a group of 45 candidates that those getting an offer will be held back to be given an offer and to do a drug test, finger printed and complete paperwork for the background check. They also STRESS NOT TO POST any of this on social media. Afraid of a lawsuit for dishonesty and discriminatory tactics for sure, because they blatantly lie to your face. It’s entirely mind games, a popularity contest and high school immature antics of unprofessional behavior.
They dismiss you in what they call 5 zones so as to NOT OVERWHELM the elevators due to others in the building. Each ZONE comprises of 10 candidates and if you are in ZONES 1-3, you didn’t get the offer. All the way out of the building and to PROVIDED transportation they reiterate the EMAIL in 7-10 days making everyone feel pathetic knowing that we weren’t getting an offer.
Do they NOT realize that we will run into the candidates who got the offer at the airport?
Do they realize LYING isn’t a core value?
The entire process is a LAWSUIT waiting to happen.
The female candidate that I ran into in the ATLANTA airport after 30 OF US WERE LIED TO told me that she already knew about the CANDIDATE PROCESS before attending the POPULARITY CONTEST EVENT DAY because DELTA FAs told her to GOOGLE SOCIAL MEDIA as how to be successful. When the 30 UNPOPULAR GROUP OF CANDIDATES were escorted out BELIEVING THAT they would possibly receive an offer in 7-10 days, this INFORMED POPULAR CANDIDATE said that she knew that she had made it through due to all of the information online that she read in advance of the event.
Why was there transportation at the end of the day and NOT THE ENTIRE DAY?
Why was the remaining group who were given offers told that DELTA wanted to avoid emotional or upset behavior so that’s why the REJECTS were escorted from the building and also told that DELTA had to LIE to avoid any mental health issues?
Literally was a scene from MEAN GIRLS asking the NOT POPULAR GROUP being told to leave.
Those that didn’t interact, were late and didn’t dress appropriately were the individuals asked to remain and given offers.
RIDICULOUS!!!!
Hello, thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sorry it was painful for you. 😞
Oh wow! When was your f2f interview date?
I had a face to face interview on 3/22/23. We also left in groups. A few people were crying because they had read online if you leave in the first two groups you don’t get a cjo. One of the flight attendants came over to the airport shuttle van and told us “ Just because you’re leaving doesn’t mean you didn’t get the job you will get an email in 7-10 business days either way” What they don’t realize is people talk. I spoke with people at the airport that were offered the job in the last group. Honesty is part of their mission statement???? What a joke. We were also told not to speak of what goes on at the interview. Also, the group activity is ridiculous. 4 participants in the drink cart activity and one old women took it over and the rest of us in the group didn’t stand a chance.A poorly organized group activity. Then we were asked questions regarding the activity. Well you can’t say what you really think or you’re being disrespectful and you’re screwed if one person takes charge. The atmosphere was so strange. Seemed fake. Flight attendants watching you lol. Again constantly being reminded not to tell what happens there. Oh and no hand shaking. Only chicken wing shake. Weird! By far the strangest interview I’ve ever had.
This sounds like a painful experience, so they fly you back home right after you leave your interview?
Good afternoon!!
I just completed my LOD Test with Alta and I’m like really nervous I didn’t do well on the second interpretation section (I didn’t know the words for ATC or holding pattern 🤦🏼♂️). Is it wise to apply under the Flight Attendant (Non-LOD) application as well?
Thanks!
Hello, you will have to unfortunately have to wait to apply after the 90 days and new job number. I completely understand how it’s difficult to translate certain things because they are not part of your usual vocabulary, I have the same issue with certain terms that I would never use in real life when speaking a different language. Best of luck to you.
I recently applied for the flight attendant position. I haven’t heard anything. Is there a contact number or will I be contacted. How long is the process
I applied and got my talent card yesterday but haven’t Heard anything yet.
Hi Leokery, you hear back probably in another day or two. Best of luck to you.
Hello. I’m just slightly confused. I received my TBNT email back in January. Meaning I’d be eligible to reapply in April if the 3 month rule is accurate. However, as I read here, I have to wait for the reference number to change. Meaning it might not be 3 months? They shouldn’t say you can reapply in 3 months if that’s the case. How long does it usually take for them to change the reference numbers for their job postings? Or does that just depend? Sorry for all these questions, I just find it all a bit confusing. I’d like to reapply and was waiting patiently for April but now am a bit disheartened that it looks like I won’t be able to reapply then.
Thanks in advance if you answer these questions and thanks for this thorough article about the delta hiring process. Very helpful.
I had a face to face interview on 3/22/23. We also left in groups. A few people were crying because they had read online if you leave in the first two groups you don’t get a cjo.

What do they have to hide??Oh and no hand shaking. Only chicken wing shake. Weird! By far the strangest interview I’ve ever had.
I recently attended FA Event Day and I actually thought it was a great experience! I did not make it, but I made it Event Day, so I was super proud of myself for making it that far. They had over 300,000 applicants and they kept stressing to us that they saw something in us to bring us this far, so we should be happy to be there. I am not going to go in to much detail about the event, but I will tell you this much, ask questions, but not too many questions. This seemed to annoy the FA’s that were conducting the training. They give you no indication as to what “type” person they are looking for. My group that left had very attractive, thin young girls and women in it, as well as very nice looking guys. Also, I dressed different, with the exception of black pants. I received SO many compliments on my choice of outfit from the FA’s. Even the others in my event made comments on how they would remember me because I “stood” out. Some people were there to strictly get the job and did very little “mingling” and others there were very “fake”. I say be yourself and just do the best that you can do. You made it that far!! I have zero FA experience and I know of 3 other current “regional” FA’s that applied who did not make it as far as myself, so that says a lot for me!!
Hi Shelly, you did a great job making it that far. The Delta F2F is the toughest of all airlines so you definitely should be proud of yourself. Thank you for the rundown of your experience.
I have my Event day just 9 days from today on 5/18/23
I will need air transport since I live in SF and the email said they would email me at least 2 weeks prior to my interview date. Still haven’t heard back so I’m anxious about not having enough time to plan my hotel accommodations and everything else for that matter. What is there to do?? Helpppp I’m so anxious about this. Waking up to no email from them is stressful
Hi Lucero, you can email them and ask. Best of luck to you.

I’m going to tell my experience this far. I applied and 10 mins later was invited to the next step. I done that and then got the virtual tryout instantly. Then done that and got less then a day later an email to do the virtual interview. I completed that last night 5/22/23 and have not heard anything back yet.
Is it true that Delta only hire experienced flight attendants?
I’ve submitted my virtual interview on Saturday. How long does it take to hear back from Delta Air Lines if I was selected to have a F2F interview? Thanks
how long did it take for the email to come from the vjt to the virtual interview
Anyone know when will Delta post for a FA position? The last time was in May 2023 and I heard they just took it down in July 2023. Do airlines usually have a break from hiring? Thank you!
September 7th application with open again for Delta flight attendant positions. Good luck to everyone who plans on applying!
Thank you Beyonce!
I applied on September 8th and already completed the first assessment they ask me to complete and just got an email to complete the virtual job assessment. After completing it what is the next step in the process and wait time to hear something? Does anyone have any advice or tips to help me in the process? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Have a Blessed Day!
Hello beautiful ladies can you give me some tips about the hireviue interview where they ask you the same questions and you have to record your answers please thank you
I just did the application process, there was no space for a social or to put down my referrals. Is that normal? Today was super glitchy the forms kept re submitting and website crashed all day don’t was a rushed process when it finally did go through but I had an email from some who referred me through delta but have no idea if that even mattered now
Could i get hired at 10 or 20 years old and what are the time lines for next year 2025 I am trying to get informed and prepared because I really want to start in that industry of flight attendant the most fastest I can
Is there any online training for the Virtual Job Tryout. I found some questions difficult ( do i help someone with a wheelchair and miss my flight or do i not help him and find someone to help him later and the questions on the diaper).
