According to USA Airline News Delta’s flight attendant training came to an end in March 2020. The “G class,” those in training when the COVID-19 epidemic struck, returned home with Delta’s assurance that they’d be the first to return when the time came.
They were brought back 78 weeks later by Delta. On Oct. 1, 99 trainees graduated and joined the ranks of Delta flight attendants who serve passengers.
Gail Clarke and her classmates finally got their Delta wings on graduation day. She beams at the group, which has been bonding for 78 weeks — 523 days — in preparation for this moment. They are Delta’s first flight attendants to graduate since the outbreak began.
On March 18, 2020, the aspiring flight attendants began week five of a demanding, in-depth training program that includes topics such as safety, service, aircraft kinds, industry regulation, and more. G class’s knowledge expanded every day after 35 days of the 40-day program. It was almost time for graduation.
