Question

Does Delta airlines scrutinize credit reports when hiring flight attendants?

Answer 1

Yes, most airlines do. It isn't necessarily cause for not hiring, but it is a black mark that is an indicator of certain personal traits that can bleed over into a job where you have to be highly professional, dependable and trustworthy, know how to make intelligent choices based on a good sense of cause-and-effect,  and being able to cope with the unexpected. Credit history is one of the indicators of that. You'll need other exemplary strengths to compensate, as well as a very valid explanation for your fiscal behavior should you be selected for an interview. The same goes for your driving record too.
