Delta Air says will add 1,000 flight attendants

8 mins ago

ATLANTA (Reuters) – Delta Air Lines Inc said on Friday it would add 1,000 flight attendants through a combination of new hires and recalls of furloughed workers for international assignments.

Delta spokesman Morgan Durrant said the carrier needed flight attendants fluent in languages such as Japanese and Mandarin. He said they were expected to be working by the middle of 2011.

Delta, based in Atlanta, Georgia, has about 20,000 flight attendants. An election is underway to determine if they will be represented by the Association of Flight Attendants union.

Last week, AMR Corp's American Airlines said it would bring back nearly 800 furloughed flight attendants and pilots to handle network expansion on international routes.
