Delta Air Lines reviews

Delta believes it is acceptable that your job should govern all of your life decisions. They use scare tactics to manipulate employees rather than encouragement or support.

The volume of baggage. I was working international and wondering why i was always tired, so i did the math: 4.5 planes(off load is half, onload is half) each load is about 200 bags, and each bag is about ~30lbs. So, 30* 200*4.5 = 27,000lbs or in other words: I stacked, pushed, onload or offloaded 13.5 US Tons PER DAY. You are an "industrial athlete" and need to watch your health. Do not try to be a hero and bust your *butt for a company paying less than $15 an hour. View it as a decent summer job plus a gym membership and a chance to see the world ( I went to France, Argentina, and a few US places. Some in first class, neat experience) Also, The elements. You get rained on alot and I worked the winter once > MISERABLE! I remember standing at a gate in full winter gear with the rain gear on top, watching the rain fall sideways in the super strong wind, shivering with soaked gloves near freezing my hands (it was sitting at like 35degrees so no snow) thinking that I had never wanted to quit so badly in my life. Wet, cold, tired and hungry. Great for morale, builds character I guess.
