13 tough interview questions flight attendant job candidates have had to answer
The competition among flight attendant candidates is so fierce that, for certain airlines, applicants compete with thousands of other applicants.
In fact, veteran Delta flight attendant Danny Elkins previously told Business Insider that it's harder to get invited to the Delta Flight Attendant training center than to get into Harvard University.
After sorting through thousands of applications, airlines use an array of interviewing techniques, including video interviews, Q&A sessions, and in-person meetings to thin the herd. As Elkins explained, airlines have to make sure those they hire can not only serve to keep customers safe and comfortable on board, but also fit well within the organization.
Here are some of the toughest questions a flight attendant candidate might be asked in the process:
