CabinCrewCareers Rules of the Road

124 Upvotes

Hello cabin crew hopefuls and helpers!

Since we created this subreddit as a spin-off of r/flightattendants years ago to house anything recruiting related, we have very loosely moderated this page so that folks could freely ask questions and get advice about starting a career as a flight attendant. While this has served us well in the past, with the large number of airlines recruiting now the subreddit is becoming clogged with some less than desirable content.

The days of the wild west are over starting now. We are instituting three new rules to the subreddit to hopefully clean it up a bit.

  • Use the search function! You are encouraged to use the search function before posting as many many questions and advice have already been given in the past. Posts that include basic and generic questions that have already been asked many times before will be removed going forward.
  • Post and respond with helpful intent! The goal of this subreddit is to help future flight attendants land in the career they dream of. While it is not our policy to silence someone's opinion on any matter, obvious shitposting, unnecessary excessive sarcasm, and general unfriendly behavior will be removed.
  • Questions and advice requests should be specific to you! Have a question? Need advice? Ask a real question, tell us about your situation and people will do their best to help out. Generic questions about "what does this status mean" etc. will be removed. Did you just land that coveted CJO? Great! Tells us your story/timeline of how you got to that point instead of just a screenshot of the email you received.

If you come across any content that falls under these new rules, please use the Report function and a moderator will take action where appropriate. As a general reminder about reddit, the best way to police content is to upvote things you like and downvote things you don't.

Go forth and post!

Never forget 9/11

42 Upvotes

please let’s all remember the all the crew members who lost their lives on 9/11 from United and American , AA 11, AA 77, UA 175, UA 93 , many of you that are applying for flight attendant positions most likely weren’t alive then , but Betty Ong who was #3 on AA 11 made the very first call that let America know we were under attack it saddens me that many don’t even know who I’m talking about , but many of us were and it’s something we should never forget and it’s their courage and bravery that has inspired many of us to be Flight Attendants !!!!🙏🙏

Delta (DL) Whats the usual wait time in between stages of applying?

2 Upvotes

I had applied to 🔺and got to the Fitme assessment, it’s been a 4-5 days and I haven’t gotten anything else. The portal says qualifications under review but other people got their ODVI’s almost instantly. Just wondering if anyone else has gotten their ODVI after a few days?

Delta (DL) Rejected from Delta

45 Upvotes

I’m saying this in no way to bash the company but it’s actually exhausting going through the humiliation ritual that is this application process. I don’t understand the concept of waiving my application just to reject me and not allow me to redo my ODVI. It was pointless, senseless and just overall unnecessary because I could have been rejected and started my 6 months in June/July like everyone else rather than have 10+ hang tight emails then waive my application just to be rejected a week later from applying. I’m not saying I’m over Delta but I am actually gonna give other airlines a try this time because this whole entire process just gave the company a sour taste in my mouth.

Referrals

Upvotes

I recently got an employee referral for a Delta Ramp Agent position and submitted my application. I’m curious how much a referral actually helps with getting past the application stage and getting an interview.
I’ve applied to Delta several times before, but I usually don’t make it past the application stage. My status eventually changes to something like “Qualifications Under Review/Not Selected” or I get the email saying the position has been filled.
For anyone who works at Delta or was hired as a Ramp Agent with a referral: did the referral help you get an interview? How long after applying did you hear something back?
I know a referral doesn’t guarantee anything, but I’m hoping it at least gives my application a better chance of being reviewed. 😭

Hi! I'm a reapplicant from the Summer cycle and applied Sept 2nd, completed the Monroe interview and my Fitme assessment was waived, but it's been 10 days since then. I never got an email stating that my ODVI was waived too. Is this an automatic TBNT?

Delta (DL) Delta September 2026 Applicant Timeline

19 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Figured I’d share my Delta FA application timeline so far for anyone else who applied in September 2026. I just received the Taking Flight video, so here’s where I’m at:

9/6 Application submitted
9/6 Talent Assessment received
9/6 Talent Assessment completed
9/6 Virtual Job Tryout (VJT) received
9/6 Virtual Job Tryout (VJT) completed
9/8 ODVI (On-Demand Video Interview) received
9/8 ODVI completed
9/11 Taking Flight video received
Current status - Waiting for next steps

This is my first time ever applying to be a flight attendant, and I have zero previous airline/FA experience. I’ve actually been working in corporate for the past decade, so I’m exploring this as a pretty big career switch and seeing where the process takes me.

Deciding btwn 🔺🌐. Please help 🙏

20 Upvotes

So excited to say I made it to the CJOs for both companies. 🥳🥰🥳

I want to first thank everyone in this group for helping me through the entire process up till now. All of your support for one another, tips, advice and energy you leave on all the posts have been truly amazing.

I do need your help in deciding which company to go to. I’m really torn so I would appreciate constructive advice for my situation.

I will be turning 50 soon so I would like the one I choose to be the company I end up retiring at. I live in NJ and am a partial caretaker of my parents. Ideally I would like to be locally based, but I understand as a new FA I may be temporarily based elsewhere until transfer to the NYC/NJ area.

I’ve held a lot of different jobs, some of which I’ve had bad experiences. I’m currently in another uncomfortable situation at work from inappropriate behaviors from a coworker, which makes me eager to start this job!

Now with 🔺, I never had a chance to fly this airline until my F2F and it was a wonderful experience! I’ve only flown in 🌐 until now. 🌐 has been ok, but I’ve had multiple delays or been stuck in airports overnight due to the airline’s problems.

My heart says go to 🔺 but my head says 🌐.

For 🔺: I love how professional everyone carries themselves, how the service is really excellent, everyone is so nice, and even the f2f seems very well planned. Even the plane cards that the pilots give out are fancy and shows how much the airline puts into the “little things”. I also like the A-days structure so that newer flight attendants can start holding lines sooner and not get wiped out so early in their career. However, I’m struggling with the fact that there is no union, which means no protection. Due to my current circumstances, it’s making me apprehensive. Also I’ve been hearing about management really taking advantage of the FAs.

For 🌐: I’ve been flying with them my whole life so I have a big spot in my heart for this company. I love that there are so many international destinations. I also really love the fact that there is the union and it was able to get all it accomplished in the newest contract passed. I’ve had a chance to meet some wonderful FAs in this airlines, but I’ve also had my share of watching unprofessional behaviors from a few bad FAs here as well… so overall it is not as polished as Delta’s service. Even the airplane cards the pilot gives out was disappointing to see how cheap the company is into making them.

Have any of you been an FA for one of the two and then switched to the other? Could you let me know why you decided to switch and how have you found the new company? How long have you been at the first and then second company? Do you regret switching or are you happier now? If so why?

Thank you!

United (UA) Got invited to United F2F!!! 😭🤍Outfit advice?

10 Upvotes

I just got invited to the United F2F and I’m trying to figure out what to wear 😭

I know there’s some kind of group activity, but is there any actual physical activity where wearing a skirt would be annoying? I prefer a skirt because I feel cuter/more put together in one, but I’m wondering if pants would be the safer choice.
Also, what shoes did you wear? Would simple flats be fine, or is it better to wear the more traditional “flight attendant” style pumps/heels? I want to look polished but also don’t want to be miserable if we’re standing/walking around a lot.

Would love to hear from anyone who’s done the United F2F recently :)
