Nothing new it seems...

"The Atlanta-based carrier received 100,000 applications for 1,000 jobs when it last hired flight attendants in October 2010."

You have to have a BMI above 46 and own at least 6 cats and one has to be named "mr...... " To qualify.

Yawn.....more Delta propaganda for the "SHEEPLE" so they think they are at a coveted job (AND could be replaced easily) as a shot across the non-union bow.

Possible reason number one; I understand this to be the majors forum. Delta is a major. The supply/demand dynamics for this position may speak to the potential for ongoing labor relations at the corporation, as this supply/demand dynamic is being repeated at this carrier for this particular position for the second time in two years. Given the potential, or lack thereof, to unionize this employee group, I thought perhaps some would find it of interest and offer insight as to the particular dynamics of this imbalance as it relates to other carriers and flight attendant unions. This gross inequity of labor supply could perhaps bear influence on unionization efforts across a broad spectrum of labor groups.

Possible reason number two: I saw this article and watched this video, then decided the article was more germane to an aviation forum:

Possible, and most probable, reason number three: The post is here because I put it here. I have absolutely no concern as to anyone's opinion on its content or placement as it falls well within FI's TOS.

Hope this provides at least a minimum amount of relief to your dilemma. If not, might I suggest you block me and save yourself the agony of reading posts that present content which you find misplaced, without entertainment or informational value and which lead you to the asking of rhetorical/existential questions.

Now if you will excuse me, my algo's have been monkey hammering the ES since midnight so I must take leave to "manage the systems." Automation is a wonderful thing but it must always be monitored by the human who will lose his pants if a line of code leads it astray.

Probably 75% don't meet the minimum requirements to apply......you'd be amazed how many people apply for a job that they don't even qualify for...
