Delta  Airlines reels out condition for   Flight Attendants

By Dr. Omar Memon

 

Delta Air Lines requires new flight attendants to participate in community service as part of their probation.

 

• Community service activities may include maintaining local parks and volunteering at food banks.
• Delta’s dedication to community service has been recognized with awards and partnerships with organizations nationwide.

It is allegedly part of the airline’s ongoing initiative for the involvement in the community by its staff.

 

The airline participates in community services nationally and internationally, including education, health and wellness, and armed forces and veterans

 

The new policy is introduced as part of the on boarding programme for flight attendants.

 

Delta expects its new flight attendants to learn the Delta culture early on by taking part in community service activities to pass their probation time with the airline.

 

Some of the community service work includes maintenance of local parks, including pulling weeds and volunteering at local food banks in the kitchen or other areas.

 

Newly hired Delta flight attendants participate in community volunteer activities as part of their paid employee on boarding programme.

 

These volunteer activities exemplify Delta’s people-focused culture and its strong belief in giving back to the communities it serves.

 

New flight attendants will have a day scheduled to complete the community service.

 

The service days will be based on other flying duties and will be paid for their time.

 

The airline makes community service a required element of the new-hire on boarding programme and a set number of hours must be completed by new flight attendants to continue working for the airline.

 

The airline takes pride in being a purpose-driven company that fosters a community service culture across all areas of the company.

 

The airline’s involvement in some of the largest wellness organizations, such as the American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, keeps it at the forefront of community service.

 

Delta also supports a range of public and professional schools to foster education to shape people’s lives and the communities’ livelihoods.

In May, the airline received the Civic 50 award from Points of Light, the world’s largest organization dedicated to volunteer service, for the sixth year in a row.

The airline was recognized as one of the 50 most community-minded companies in the nation. According to the Managing Director of Community Engagement at Delta, Tad Hutcheson,

Part of being a purpose-driven company means being a strong partner and giving back to the communities where we live, work, and serve.

It is core to Delta’s culture, and we are honored to be named to the Points of Light Civic 50 for the sixth year in a row.

Delta has been partnering with the American Cancer Society for 15 years, and it raises more than $2 million each year for the cause.

As the number one corporate donor of blood to the American Red Cross, Delta’s employees and customers play a vital part in saving lives.

The airline is equally committed to providing equitable access to high-quality education, especially to children and communities that are marginalized.
