That's according to Reuters, which writes Delta plans to "begin recruiting furloughed flight attendants to support its growing international route network." In a recorded message to the airline's employees, Delta CEO Richard Anderson gave no numbers on how many attendants the carrier will bring back. But he did say Delta hopes to start training attendants in January with the hope of having them working flights by mid-2011, according to Reuters.
"We need lots of folks with language skills, given the extensive nature of our international network and the need to be able to communicate with passengers in their own language," Anderson is quoted as saying by The Kansas City Star.
Bloomberg News also reports on the subject, writing "Delta is adding international flights as the economy recovers and businesses resume travel. The airline said Aug. 4 that its passenger traffic across the Pacific Ocean rose 6.2% this year through July, while Latin American traffic increased 3.4%."
Bloomberg adds that Delta said in July that it will need to fill about 1,000 position at its 25 busiest U.S. destinations "to help with planes flying at near-record capacity and cope with weather disruptions."
