Delta is seeking both English-speaking Flight Attendants and Bilingual Flight Attendants (also known as LOD/Language of Destination) to join our In-Flight Services team. If applying for a LOD role, you must be fluent in English and the language you select on your application to be eligible. LOD candidates are required to successfully complete a language assessment during the hiring process to be considered for an LOD Flight Attendant position. LOD languages include Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Korean, and Swedish. If you are successfully hired as an LOD Flight Attendant a two-year commitment to the LOD program is required.
Since our flights operate 24/7, 365 days a year, Flight Attendants must be willing to work irregular hours. Workdays include early mornings, late nights, overnights, weekends, holidays, and extended hours as needed due to operational reasons.
New hires must successfully complete seven consecutive weeks of training located at our World Headquarters in Atlanta, GA. During this time, participants receive a training wage and some meals, as well as shared lodging for those who do not live within 25 miles of the training facility.
Once training is complete, Flight Attendants will report to their assigned base to join their 28,000+ colleagues in In-Flight Service. Base options may vary based on operational need and differ for Bilingual, or LOD, Flight Attendants.
