Delta Airlines Employment Knowledge Base
How do I get a job with Delta Airlines? I would really like to work with Delta Airlines, I've flown with them numerous times and have always been impressed with the courteous staff and the high level of service. I live in Dublin Ireland where Delta fly from my local airport, I've been on their website however they only list a USA or Canada application yet they state that they employee locals for their international posts - can anyone tell me how to contact them? I know some airlines use agencies to fill their positions, so I need to find out if Delta are one of them and which agency they use if they are. I ve tried using the email address on their website for employment questions but this is invalid and the mail keeps failing.
What is the best way to apply for a job with an airline? Recently, I tried applying for a job with an airline. For example, Delta. I looked under employment on their website for a job a I looked at all the locations throughout the country and there were no openings. I was wondering, is there another way I can apply for a job with an airline? Thank you in advance.
A question about working at airlines? I was thinking about getting a job as a flight attendant so obviously, i've been doing research online. I'm trying to figure out which airlines would be the best to apply at and I just need a little insider information; for instance, what are the requirements of employment at British Airways? Or what are the age requirements at Delta? Can anybody help me out here?
What you think of this article and Summary it? Aug. 21--The Air Line Pilots Association on Monday asked the National Mediation Board for an election to decide if SkyWest Airlines pilots want to be represented by the nation's largest airline pilot union. ALPA decided to seek an election after receiving enough interest from SkyWest pilots in joining the union, ALPA said in a letter mailed to about 2,700 aviators. It isn't clear how many pilots have signed cards authorizing the union to request a collective bargaining vote. On Monday, ALPA spokesman Pete Janhunen refused to reveal the number because the union doesn't want to tip its hand to the company. Over the past year, ALPA has said it had obtained authorization cards from more than half of St. George-based SkyWest's pilots. But it declined to approach the mediation board until at least 70 percent had indicated their support for a vote. "We think we are going to win the election. ALPA doesn't play to lose. Our senior leadership and the [SkyWest pilots] organizing committee agree that the time is right to file the cards" with the mediation board, Janhunen said. SkyWest spokeswoman Marissa Snow said the airline would not comment because it had not been informed by the union. In the past, the airline has said it is opposed to a pilots union. "We haven't been notified of anything of this nature, so I can't really speak to the topic," Snow said. SkyWest pilots are the largest nonunion group of commercial aviators in the country, according to ALPA. The rapidly growing regional airline flies passengers for Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and Midwest Airlines. It has hired about 2,000 workers this year, including hundreds of pilots, and has plans to hire more to keep up with growth. In the letter to pilots, ALPA said the mediation board will hold the election after it compares the authorization cards with company employment records to verify the showing of pilot interest in an election. The board also will put together a list of eligible voters. That should take 60 days. The board will then mail confidential telephone voting instructions to the pilots, who likely will have 30 days to cast their ballots. Janhunen said pilots will vote on two questions -- whether they want a union to represent them and whether that union should be ALPA. Simple majority votes are required, he said. ALPA hasn't detected widespread dissatisfaction with SkyWest, Janhunen said. Instead, SkyWest's rapid growth has made pilots feel uncertain about their jobs, he said. "Usually, in this kind of case, [pilots] realize they don't have an enforceable [labor] contract, they don't have an agreement that guarantees any aspect of their careers," he said. "There comes a point for pilots when scraps from the master's table are no longer a sufficient diet." The union's reluctance to pursue a vote until now may be based on past failures by pilots to affiliate with a union. An effort in 2004 failed when only a third of eligible pilots voted for an in-house association to act as their bargaining agent. An organizing drive by ALPA in 1999 also failed. In May, a federal judge barred SkyWest from interfering with organizing activities by the SkyWest Pilots ALPA Organizing Committee. The association won a restraining order blocking the airline from preventing pilots from posting and handing out literature and wearing ALPA insignia on pins while on duty.
Current Events: How and why would you not believe that 9/11 was a Conspiracy? I have enough evidence to supply you with. To start, I was a Former Senator of Illinois. Many of my 9/11 Conspiracy Knowledge come from there... Here are my evidence. Please answer my question when you are done. I will list a few and tell me you believe or not. 9/11 - An Inside Job? An Inside Job? US officials are compiling what one called "growing" evidence that other hijackings may have been planned for September 11. Officials from both the government and the airline industry tell TIME Magazine that a knife-like weapon was found on each of two separate Delta Airlines aircraft later that day, although neither plane took off due to the nationwide grounding after the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks on hijacked United and American airlines planes. Investigators are not yet certain how these weapons came to be on board the aircraft. But they increasingly believe that the weapons may have been prepositioned by accomplices for use by others. As one US official told TIME, "These look like inside jobs." 9/11 Security Courtesy of Marvin Bush Marvin P. Bush, the president’s younger brother, was a principal in a company called Securacom that provided security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines, and Dulles International Airport. Numbers suggest terrorists targeted flights The numbers appear out-of-whack, thankfully. And so, a lingering question is why the passenger loads on the four planes hijacked in U.S. skies are being described by industry officials as "very, very low." "You have to think it was by design, that they didn't want to go on a flight with the chance of the passengers working against them,'' said Dave Esser, head of the aeronautical science department at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. "If you've got the threat of a bomb or a gun you can hold people at bay. These guys were strong-arming people with box cutters and knives. "They wanted the numbers to be on their side.'' And they were, staggeringly so. Three of the transcontinental flights departed for the West Coast with at least two-thirds of the seats empty. Only 37 of the 182 seats were occupied -- including four by hijackers, at least two in first class -- as United Airlines' Flight 93 left Newark for San Francisco. The only flight that was even half full proved to be American Airlines' Flight 11, a wide-body Boeing 767 that left Boston bound for Los Angeles with 81 passengers. All 9/11 airports serviced by one Israeli company ICTS is [...] an Israeli owned company, and [...] it sells services to every airport from which the hijacked planes operated, including security, sometimes through wholly owned subsidiaries like Huntleigh USA Corporation. It has been suggested that the incredible feat of hijacking four aircraft without a single arrest at the gate would require the resources of a nation-state. This is even more true with the revelation that at least one gun had managed to be aboard a hijacked plane. One company had automatic inside access to all of the airports from which hijacked planes departed on 9-11, and to the airports used by Richard Reid, the shoe bomber. An Israeli company. One that Mossad agents could easily find employment with without the management knowing who they were or what their purpose really was. But one thing is clear. By virtue of the Odigo warning, someone knew enough about the planned attacks to warn Odigo before the planes had even departed the airport gates, yet they did not call the Israeli security company at the airports which could have stopped the flights from leaving. Bush Senior Met With Bin Laden's Brother on 9/11 On 11 September, while Al-Qaeda's planes slammed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the Carlyle Group hosted a conference at a Washington hotel. Among the guests of honour was a valued investor: Shafig bin Laden, brother to Osama. http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/govknow.html Okay then..9/11 - The Basic Questions 1.

God, Why Didn't I get the Job? Before judging me, please read my entire question. I got a call a week ago from Delta Airlines to interview for their Flight Attendant position. If I was good enough for a second interview, they would fly me to Atlanta. Well I figured with all my experience, I would be a shoo-in. Not only do I have a Bachelor of Arts degree, I ALSO have over 4 years experience as a Facilitator Tour Guide at a world famous museum, and performed for Disney Cruise Lines. I have a shit ton of experience working with the public. And on the latter, I was professionally trained in safety, and even earned a certificate. The lady who interviewed me on the phone appeared unimpressed as I rattled off these accomplishments, and remained poker toned. I was then asked numerous questions about how I would react in certain situations. One of the questions was "What do you do if a guest asks to go to the bathroom but the pilot has the fasten seat belt lit?" I simply said "Well I would calmly tell them they couldn't due to safety regulations, but if they needed further assistance I would see what I could do." Like, WHAT THE FUCK else was I suppose to say? When asked about how I handled safety in my past job, I glorified the response with how I was a Traffic Controller aboard the now 5th biggest Cruise Ship in the world (Disney Dream), and had to escort guests to their lifeboats. Apparently this just wasn't good enough for lame Delta Airlines, because three days later I got an email telling me unfortunately I did not pass the interview and they had no position for me at this time. Bullshit! Something is up? Can someone please tell me what I did wrong or if my resume just wasn't doing it? Are they expecting people with Masters Degrees and more then 10 years customer experience? I mean I've been working with the public since I was 18- and I'm almost 29 now. What gives? PS- I know this is in the Religious section, but I was getting 0 answers in the Employment area. Any suggestions for other categories I may get hits on? You all are always good at responding. Troy you're a moron~ I come off as a Master, and not a Servant? What the fuck? So because I have experience, education and am proud of my accomplishments, You wouldn't hire me either? Ugh, I wouldn't work for a biased fuck like you any day of the week! What IS the world coming to?
FLIGHT ATTENDANTS HELP: Pain when flying, should I pursue another career? I've recently graduated from a four year university, and now I'm struggling to find full-time employment...let alone a career I would enjoy doing. I recently been toying with the idea of being a flight attendent. A regional airline for Delta Connection will be hosting a open house within the next few days. I honestly just know I would love flying. I have no fears about frequently traveling. I have no children, and I'm single...so I am willing to put in the long hours and dedication it takes to get my foot in the door and get some seniority under my belt. There's just ONE major problem: I experience serious ear pain when flying occasionally. As a child I suffered from chronic ear infections and had to get tubes surgically inserted to reduce infection. The tubes are now long gone, and I haven't had an infection in years. However, when I fly I can absolutely feel pressure. Sometimes there's pain, and almost all the time I experience some hearing loss due to air pressure. This almost always occurs during decedent. It takes a lot out of me to maintain composure, but I'm getting better. I've never let this complication stop me from traveling. I've traveled to many of the states and abroad to Europe. So my questions are: Is there any frequent traveler tips to reduce this? (PLEASE don't respond with just yawn, chew gum, swallow, suck candy: again, I have traveled a lot and those tips for the most part don't work) Should I just pursue another career? Is there any way to train myself to relieve the pressure? Any success stories...flight crew with similar issues that have been able to overcome them? I really appreciate any opinions/advice!!!
Best Way to Become and Airline Pilot? It's been my dream since I was a little kid living behind our international airport, but I'm not really sure where to begin. I want to get my training alongside a degree, to maximize my chances of employment with a good airline. I've looked into schools like Delta Connection Academy, but many of them seem outrageously expensive, and I've seen nothing but very negative reviews regarding them. Are there any quality, reputable schools out there that will prepare me for this career path? As an added note, I'm not worried about cost. I have a GI Bill and am eligible for several scholarships.
Did I correctly do MLA format? I'm currently in a college writing class. I wrote a paper about relocating Portland (OR) International Airport. Are the following articles formatted correctly according to MLA standards?

I'm happy that this quarter is almost over.
I have an interview with an airline and I haven't worked for 8 years. What would you say? I did a bunch of tests and phone interviews and Delta are flying me to Atlanta on Tuesday to do a face to face interview to become a flight attendant. I basically haven't worked full time since 2000 because I recieve funds from a family source (like a trust fund) and I have been writing for a magazine but i have a monthly column and really it only takes me a couple of days a month to write it. I have to undergo a ten year employment check. How do I say to them that I have a private, independent income and haven't really needed to work but now I want to? I really, really want to fly with them. I don't actually 'need' to work but I have always wanted to fly as a flight attendant and believe I would be great at it - and love it.
