Delta is hiring additional flight attendants for 2022, with the application featuring a “virtual job tryout” so candidates can experience the role firsthand and show their relevant skills.
Since hiring and training ramped back up last year, Delta expects to have over 4,500 new flight attendants on the front line by the end of 2022. Forty graduating classes are scheduled for this year – part of the company’s commitment to unparalleled customer service.
