"After making it through the highly competitive and exhaustive selection process, [new hires] put all their previous experience and skills to the test during our flight attendant initial training,” said Allison Ausband, Delta's Senior Vice President – In-Flight Service, in a press release.
Viewers will be able to watch as trainees complete challenges involving CPR, putting out fires, prepping meals and assisting in water evacuations.
