How Flight Attendants Are Trained

Each year, 100,000 people apply for a position as a Delta Air Lines flight attendant, but only 3,000 people get the job. That's because it’s much more than being a waitress in the sky. We visited Delta's flight attendant training facility in Atlanta to see how they're trained for emergency evacuations and medical emergencies.

How Flight Attendants Are Trained

[KKISCRAZYFUL]

The way people treat flight attendants really upsets me sometimes.

Edit: I did not realize this statement would be so controversial. If you leave a comment, please remember to be respectful to each other.

They should have pretend passengers that just freak out and does stuff that your not supposed to do on an airplane like taking your bags. Just for realism

My mom was a flight attendant but stopped when I was born, and she always tells me that flight attendants train for something they pray to God never actually happens.

Flight Attendant: STAY SEATED
The Airplane: *EVACUATE, EVACUATE!*

i remember a lady snuck me a top-tier snack box because she felt bad that i couldn't pay since flights only took cards, and all i had was cash, (my card was in my wallet, in the cargo bay), best damn flight attendant i ever had

I was fortunately able to start my flight attendant training with Delta and had to pause due to Covid. It was such an incredible experience. I can’t wait to return

This made me realize that these flight attendants should be treated almost like first aid workers

[hxneey_bxuns]

“Flight attendants: Leave everything!! Evacuate the plane now!! Move it!!” Sit and slide!!

Me: gets happy and excited because there’s a slide 👁😁👁
