I went through the interview process fairly quickly. I went to my face to face on Monday 9/19 in Atlanta. It was a positive experience and I learned a lot. They are watching you from the moment you walk in the door. Immediately start mingling with everybody in sight while in the waiting room. Next they will split you up into three groups according to the first letter of your last name. They will call you up to show them your ID and your covid vaccination card. Once everybody gets through that, Groupon will be escorted upstairs, down a long hallway into a room where music is playing and flight attendants as well as the hiring manager, are standing in a row clapping for you. At this time you will put your bags in a room, and come out and immediately start mingling with the flight attendants. Once all groups are in, it will show you a video, and give you a little information about the day. Group 1 will then have their face to face, group two will do a cart exercise (paired up with three other people and instructed to set up a cart while following directions, in front of a member of the talent team, and a flight attendant and each asked a question at the end of the exercise) . Group 3 will go to an informational group where you can ask questions and see a sample schedule etc. You rotate through each group while in between having 15 to 20 minutes where your goal is to mingle with as many flight attendants as possible. I am proud of myself for getting to this stage of the hiring process, however I did not receive a CJO. The only thing I found really bad about the experience was their dismissal system. I don't really understand why it's necessary to lie to people about where they stand. I knew going in that if you were not offered your CJO on the spot, you would not advance, which made their dismissal system even worse for me because I watched them get other people's hopes up while lying through their teeth and consuming the next 7 to 10 business days of these people's lives making them check their email 100 times a day and giving them hope, when they know 100% there is none for them this time around. Delta talks about their transparency, however this is portion is extremely poor business. In addition, when they escort the groups out to the shuttle, their whole demeanor changes. It's like they are driven prison guards, making sure everybody gets on the bus and everybody is escorted off the property. I think they would be better served being honest to their candidates, and perhaps dismissing them with the truth and maybe a copy of the report of the day if so they could examine their strengths and weaknesses for more success in the future and to not leave them wondering where they went wrong, while they spend the next 10 days of their life still thinking they have a chance. Like everyone else, I was asked repeatedly through the process not to share any information about what happened there or any information on interview questions to protect the integrity of the airline. They're dismissal process showed absolutely no integrity, and I don't feel bad about this closing this information. I hope it is helpful.
