Delta Air Lines reviews

• Junior flight attendants! Expect to be on reserve for 10-20+ years depending on where you're based. • Easy to feel like a cog in the machine • Lots of time/holidays/birthdays spent away from loved ones. • Commuting is awful. If you're in a position to move to your base city, do it! • Airline industry tension is at an all time high • Passengers are often stressed out and disrespectful onboard • New crew every trip - you're not always going to get along with coworkers (but trips are short!) • Reroutes! Don't make plans until you're about to take off for your layover city - too often the whole trip gets changed up due to weather or mechanical issues. • Waking up at 3am is never fun. • Scheduling can push you to 16 hour work days! • 9-hour layovers are barely enough time to be functional the next day.

Minimum staff on all airplanes compared to other airlines with more staffing. Very physically challenging job. Quite often 20+ Hour work days. 4-5 hours of sleep on layovers. Lifting passenger luggage into overhead bins and then closing them takes it toll on your back over the years. A lot of OJI's with this job working with very heavy equipment. They fight you every step of the way on OJI's and disability insurance you pay for. Only airline that FA's are non Union . Must work all holidays for first 5+ yrs. No appreciation from management on the job the FA's do. You are dealing with very angry passengers on a day to day basis and expected to solve many problems you have no control over. Such as cancelled or delayed flights, don't like the meal served, don't like their seats, no leg room, drunk and sometimes violent passengers. Things can change at a moments notice and you get home 1-3 days later then expected. Constantly told we are responsible for great customer service and not given the proper staffing to do it.
