Delta flight attendant class celebrates delayed graduation

On Oct. 1, Delta Air Lines graduated its first class of new flight attendants in over a year — a group that was five days from completing the 40-day course when the pandemic shut training down. “In that 18 months, we had a baby born, parents pass away, someone found out they had, and then beat, cancer… and we all made it because of the amazing support we had from one another,” said newly minted flight attendant Gail Clarke.
