Delta to Recall, Hire Attendants as Carrier Expands

Delta Air Lines Inc., the world’s largest carrier, said it will recall furloughed attendants and hire an undetermined number of new workers as it adds flights.

The airline expects to begin training the attendants in January and have them flying by mid-2011, Chief Executive Officer Richard Anderson told employees in a recorded message today. He didn’t say how many flight-attendant jobs the Atlanta-based carrier will fill.
