Remember, a flight attendant's main purpose is to save your life in an emergency, not serve drinks. Always be nice to them!

FA here! Not only is Delta training like this, but all airlines train like this as well. Being a FA is so much more than handing out snacks. It's the BEST job ever but sometimes it can be extremely stressful.

[FalconsGirl]

I leave for FA training tomorrow. I’m excited nervous but READY

[MJTam]

Applauding all FAs from all airlines! From big airlines and small ones. They all go through the same rigorous training and face all these hardships during the pandemic.

Throwback to my 1989 Delta FA training. Great training and trainers.

I have to admit that the swimming session is absolutely exhausting, I can swim alright but to float with heavy weight and trying to get on the rescue boat is really difficult 😞

It's my dream to become a flight attendant, idk why but I just feel this passion for it.

[NicksDynasty]

This training prepared me for this crazy fun solid lifestyle and career path.
This job is more than you think

[d.g.]

The training is intense but I can handle it. I want to insure everyone has a safe travel on an airplane.

My godfather was a flight attendant for Southwest and he was the best. I miss him so much. I really enjoyed this segment, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Self Defence training would come in handy as well

I just applied for an FA position with Delta. They are very selective on who they hire, its been said that you have a better chance of getting accepted into Harvard or Yale then getting hired with Delta. Ive seen people say they got hired on their 1st attempt of applying where others have taken them 6, 8, 10 trys of applying. I know every major airline has the positoves and negatives, but with all the times Ive flew with Delta be it economy and 1st class once, Ive had amazing experiences

I hate to admit to myself how long ago I had my Delta training 1983. It was intense but thankfully I made it. I remember I had 2 interviews, but it seemed as if I was hired after the first. I enjoyed the job and never really had any problems with it. However I wouldn't want the job in this day and age. There are far to many serious difficulties to deal with now days.

I’m petrified of flying….idk how flight attendants can stand being up in the air so often. I literally trembled with my head down for an entire flight from NY to TX. I kept thinking of nothing but thousands of meters of air under my seat and couldn’t help it.

[parisz]

Working on one of the most popular cruise ships in the Baltic Sea with had training similar to this I remember

[Julius]

That's not training for a heart attack, it's training for a cardiac arrest.

[sirfunwill]

Flight attendants are the best. Every flight I bring them a gift cards.

[greensteelusallc]

Training is a must.
Dead weight people in ocean must be a decent size to carry the load

[amyblack]

#flightattendantfor30years. Yes, we all train like this.

[IssaVibewithKP]

I was told my rear end was too big to be a flight attendant in the nicest way 😂
When I would turn sideways my buns would possibly touch the heads or faces of the passengers😩
