What Delta confirms about its AI assessment, Fitme and HireVue, how the reported Monroe interview fits in, and where recorded-answer practice helps. Pilot, corporate and early-career routes are covered separately.
By the Game Assessment Prep research teamUpdated September 24, 2026How we research
The assessments below separate Delta’s published stages from candidate-reported mechanics. No specific game battery is confirmed by the reviewed Delta pages. For the flight attendant HireVue stage, the linked question themes and recorded-answer practice are relevant; the Aon instrument used for pilots remains unidentified.
Category practice
The reviewed public Delta pages do not name a game battery. Missing vendor or product details are not proof that no role uses games. Match preparation to the assessment named in your invitation rather than infer a format from the HireVue or Aon brand.

Delta identifies HireVue as the partner for its self-recorded flight attendant interview. Rehearse concise examples using the linked reported question themes, then record and review your answers. Use your invitation for actual preparation time, answer limits and retake rules; our practice is independent of Delta’s assessment.
Category practice
Officially a MakiPeople-delivered Candidate Assessment; unofficially, per cabin-crew press, a conversational AI called Monroe that can probe your previous answer with follow-up questions. That follow-up mechanic is what makes it different to prepare for: a rehearsed paragraph that cannot survive being pressed for detail will be pressed. Prepare real examples you can go two layers deeper on — what specifically happened, what you decided, what the outcome was — rather than polished summaries.
The cited report does not describe a game element; Delta does not publish the detailed format.

Category practice
A short values questionnaire. Delta names the partner and nothing else; candidate reporting describes agree/disagree statements, ranking and prioritization items, and repeated or rephrased questions that test whether your answers hold steady. Delta does not publish the scoring rules. Read its stated values and Rules of the Road for context, then answer honestly and follow the instructions you receive.

Delta names Aon for pilot hiring and describes an assessment of personality and skills. It names no product, and no official or vendor source confirms which one. Candidate posts from March and April 2024 describe spatial orientation, shape-sudoku puzzles, multitasking, auditory clearance reasoning and forced-choice workplace behavior items while naming no Aon product at all. Some of those are game-shaped enough that it would be easy to link our Aon practice games and call it Delta preparation.
We are not doing that, because the instrument is unconfirmed and you would be drilling a guess. If your invitation names a module, that settles it — and tell us so this page can be tightened.

Our Delta Air Lines question set supports preparation for the video interview stages described in this guide. Each question is labeled by its evidence: officially published, candidate-reported, or a practice question written for this company or role. Use the timed mock to practice answering aloud.
Preparing for the Delta Fitme assessment or AI interview starts with identifying your role. Delta’s flight attendant page lists MakiPeople, Fitme and HireVue in that order. The AI-powered MakiPeople Candidate Assessment comes before the values assessment and recorded video interview; successful candidates then move to Event Day.
If you searched for Delta Monroe interview questions, Monroe is the name used in the cabin-crew reporting cited below. Delta itself names MakiPeople, without publishing that product name, a question bank or detailed scoring rules. Reports about follow-up questions and Fitme item formats remain separate from what Delta confirms.
For the HireVue stage, practice concise recorded answers using the linked question themes and mock interview. Delta’s public description does not identify HireVue games. Pilot applicants have a separate Aon assessment with no instrument named publicly; corporate and early-career applicants should use their own invitation rather than assume the flight attendant sequence applies.
Delta’s highest-volume external hiring track and the one the full MakiPeople, Fitme, HireVue and Event Day pipeline applies to. Requirements: at least 21 years old at application, a high school diploma or GED or equivalent, legal US work authorization, fluency in reading, writing and speaking English, and a valid passport with 30 or more months of remaining validity.
Language of Destination roles additionally require fluency in reading, writing and speaking the destination language — LOD is a language requirement within the same US process, not a separate regional pipeline.
Delta lists Internship, Co-Op, MBA and Rotational programs. Its page describes ongoing Internship and MBA recruitment, with Co-Op hiring tied to semester rotations. Applications run through Delta’s career site, Handshake and university career pages, and candidates may apply to multiple positions at once. Delta points students to STAR-method interview preparation and names no assessment vendor for any of these programs.
Delta’s pilot pathway uses one Propel interview for progression to Endeavor, with a potential later move to a Delta first-officer role after meeting the requirements. Four pathways: Collegiate & CFI (students at AABI-accredited universities or affiliate flight school graduates actively instructing as CFIs), the Propel Talent Community for pre-eligibility students, the Propel Scholarship Path (nominated candidates, financial assistance plus mentorship), and the Company Pilot Career Path for existing Delta employees with two or more years of service in good standing.
Requires an FAA First Class Medical Certificate, a valid passport permitting unrestricted US re-entry, and US work authorization without sponsorship. The Propel page itself names no assessment vendor — Aon and the MMPI-2 appear only on the pilot hiring FAQ.

Delta lists Corporate Communications, Corporate Strategy, Finance & Accounting, Government Affairs, Human Resources, Information Technology & Engineering, Legal, Marketing, Procurement & Supply Chain, Sustainability and Fuel Planning. This page is important as negative evidence: it describes no hiring process and names no vendor, no assessment and no video interview. Its only interview guidance is an employee testimonial advising candidates to research Delta’s culture and "Rules of the Road" to prepare for the "Why Delta" question.
Source: Delta corporate careers page
Delta’s careers overview lists ACS, Cargo and Clean; Reservation Sales & Customer Care; Flight Attendants; Pilots; Students & Early Careers; Technical Operations & Engineering; and Delta Subsidiaries (Flight Products, Material Services, Tech Hub, Vacations). None of the subsidiary pages publishes a hiring process, and no hiring process is documented for Delta’s Bengaluru Technology Hub. Delta also warns that candidates are never charged for its recruitment process, including applications and screening, and that legitimate recruiting email comes from @delta.com addresses.
If anyone charges you for a Delta assessment, that is the scam Delta is describing.

The reviewed Delta flight attendant and pilot pages name assessment partners, but do not identify a game battery. This does not establish that games are absent from every role. The pilot Aon instrument and corporate assessment formats remain unspecified; check your invitation before choosing practice.

Delta lists MakiPeople for the AI-powered Candidate Assessment, Fitme for the values assessment and HireVue for the On-Demand Interview, in that order. The partnerships and sequence are official; detailed question formats are less fully documented.
Delta describes the flight attendant On-Demand Interview as self-recorded and requiring video. This supports recorded-answer preparation. It does not establish which other HireVue products may be used in other roles; follow the instructions in your own invitation.
Delta calls it a Candidate Assessment delivered by its partner MakiPeople; candidates and cabin-crew press refer to the tool as Monroe, which is not Delta’s own name for it. Cabin-crew reporting describes a conversational AI that opens on willingness to relocate and understanding of the flight attendant lifestyle, then moves to situational, competency-based questions — and, unlike a fixed one-way interview, can ask follow-up questions based on what you just said. The same reporting places its introduction around September 2026 and says scoring is based on the content of what you say rather than accent or polish. Delta confirms only the partnership; everything about the mechanics is single-source.

Cabin-crew reporting describes a seven-day MakiPeople deadline that does not reset. This is a single-source report, not a published Delta-wide rule. Check the date, time zone and completion instructions in your actual invitation and contact the recruitment team if they are unclear.

Delta identifies Fitme as the partner for its short values assessment. Delta has not publicly described the instrument, and no vendor case study naming Delta could be located. Candidate reporting describes a values-fit questionnaire built around Delta’s stated values, with statements to agree or disagree with, sorting and ranking items, and repeated or rephrased items that check whether your answers stay consistent. Delta does not publish the scoring rules; answer honestly rather than trying to infer a preferred profile.

Candidate reports contradict each other outright — one describes re-recording each question freely until satisfied, another describes a single take with no do-overs. No Delta statement on retakes was found, and the accounts differ by several years, so the policy may simply have changed. Check your invitation for the actual retake policy; practice giving a complete answer in one take. If you get re-records, you lose nothing; if you do not, you were ready.

Delta’s pilot FAQ describes an Aon online assessment covering personality and skills. Delta stops there. It does not identify the product, and no official or vendor source confirms which Aon instrument is used. Pilot candidate posts from March and April 2024 describe spatial orientation, shape-sudoku-style puzzles, multitasking, auditory clearance reasoning and forced-choice workplace behavior items — but they name no Aon product at all. Some of that is game-shaped, which makes it tempting to link Aon practice games as Delta preparation; we will not, because nothing confirms the instrument.
Delta’s FAQ sets out the sequence: application, review by two members of the Application Review Team, then the interview process, pre-employment screening, a two-week indoctrination and a wing ceremony before training. Within the interview process, successful candidates are invited to Delta Headquarters for a panel interview and to take the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, Revision 2 (MMPI-2), and also participate in a virtual interview with one of Delta’s psychologists. Propel is the pathway program, sharing a single interview with regional subsidiary Endeavor Air.
Delta’s corporate careers page and its Students & Early Careers page were both read in full. Neither describes a hiring process, names a vendor, or mentions an assessment or video interview. Candidates report an on-demand video interview and a multiple-choice assessment with ranking sections for corporate and internship roles, but Delta does not confirm this and no vendor is officially named for these roles. That gap is the honest state of the evidence, and it is why this page does not tell corporate applicants which platform to expect.
A Virtual Job Tryout was described in September 2025 press about Delta flight attendant hiring, in a pipeline of FitMe plus a Virtual Job Tryout plus a video interview — with no MakiPeople and no HireVue named. Delta’s current flight attendant page instead names MakiPeople, Fitme and HireVue. Treat the Virtual Job Tryout as retired for flight attendant hiring; its status for other roles is unconfirmed. If a guide describes it as your next step, check the date on that guide.
Figures circulating for recent flight attendant rounds — including a sub-one-percent acceptance rate — are unverified single-source claims. Delta publishes neither acceptance rates nor any benchmark for the MakiPeople, Fitme or HireVue stages. Prepare against the format, not against a number nobody can source.

Delta publishes an opening date for flight attendant applications but no closing date, and nothing at all for corporate or early-career windows. Everything below was checked on 11 September 2026; where a number comes from candidate reports rather than Delta, it is labeled.
| Cycle | Application dates | Likely assessment window | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flight attendant applications for 2027 hiring classes | No published closing date | Follow your invitation; the reported seven-day window is not a published Delta rule | Official source Delta opened an external flight attendant application window on 2 September 2026 for its 2027 hiring classes, covering both English-speaking and bilingual Language of Destination roles. No closing date was published. Delta has acknowledged that high application volume may mean slower response times or delays in the application portal. Candidates may submit only one flight attendant application every six months; those disqualified may reapply six months after the disqualification email and once a new requisition posts. Source: Delta News Hub announcement (2 September 2026); window independently confirmed in press |
| Flight attendant training | Not applicable — scheduled after pre-employment clears | Not applicable | Official source Training is seven consecutive weeks onsite in Atlanta, beginning after pre-employment screening clears, at which point the flight attendant receives a training date and base assignment. Cabin-crew reporting places training starts for the cycle opened in September 2026 in early 2027 — that timing is single-source, while the seven-week Atlanta format is Delta’s own wording. Source: Delta flight attendant careers page; early-2027 start from cabin-crew reporting |
| End-to-end flight attendant timeline | Not applicable | Not applicable | Multiple sources There is no guaranteed timeline and reported waits vary widely. Candidate reports put the gap between the On-Demand Interview and an Event Day invitation anywhere from about six weeks to more than six months, with full-process estimates ranging from roughly three to nine months and some accounts longer. After Event Day, candidates commonly report hearing back by email within about seven to ten days. Treat all of these as ranges from candidate reports, not commitments — Delta publishes none of them. Source: Independent candidate guides reviewed 11 September 2026 |
| Internship, co-op, MBA and rotational hiring | Rolling; Delta publishes no fixed deadline | Unknown — Delta names no assessment for these roles | Official source Delta describes ongoing Internship and MBA recruitment, with Co-Op hiring tied to semester rotations. Because hiring is rolling, postings can close before any stated date, so applying as soon as a role appears matters more than any window. Suggested late-August openings with autumn interviews circulate on prep sites; those are generalizations, not Delta statements, and nothing on Delta’s pages supports a fixed calendar. |
| Pilot hiring | Not published — Delta hires pilots against operational need rather than an annual window | The Aon online assessment follows a competitive application review; Delta publishes no completion window for it | Official source Delta’s pilot FAQ describes the stages but publishes no calendar: application, review by two Application Review Team members, the Aon assessment, a panel interview and MMPI-2 at Atlanta HQ, a virtual interview with a Delta psychologist, pre-employment screening, a two-week indoctrination and a wing ceremony. Propel candidates interview once and progress through Endeavor Air. |
Start with your invitation and the stages for your role. For the flight attendant HireVue interview, practice explaining your experience clearly on camera. Do not choose a game simulator solely because an assessment vendor also offers games.
Then work out which stages apply to you. Flight attendant candidates face MakiPeople, Fitme, HireVue and Event Day. Pilot candidates face an Aon assessment whose instrument Delta does not identify publicly, followed by a panel, the MMPI-2 and a psychologist interview. Corporate and early-career candidates face something Delta does not publish at all — prepare STAR answers and Delta’s Rules of the Road, and let the invitation tell you the format.
Our practice tracks your improvement on recorded answers; Delta publishes no scoring model, no benchmark and no acceptance rate, so aim at being fluent and specific rather than at a number.
Check the role, named assessment and instructions before choosing practice. The public flight attendant HireVue description supports recorded-answer preparation; it does not identify a game battery. Pilot and corporate invitations may describe different formats.
Customer service above and beyond, a difficult or non-compliant customer, adapting to significant change, working under intense time pressure, a team goal you contributed to, and a failure you learned from. The cited cabin-crew report describes MakiPeople follow-up questions based on your answer, so a rehearsed summary you cannot expand on is a liability. For each example, know what specifically happened, what you decided and why, and how it ended.
Practice giving a clear answer in one take, then review whether your example explains your actions and outcome. Match any time limits to your invitation. Delta advises candidates to speak honestly without reading prepared answers; its public page does not publish scoring penalties or fixed answer timings.
Read Delta’s stated values and Rules of the Road for context, then answer honestly. Repeated or rephrased Fitme items are reported by candidates, but Delta does not publish the scoring model or a preferred answer profile.
Use the date, time zone and instructions in your invitation. A seven-day MakiPeople window appears in single-source cabin-crew reporting, but Delta’s public flight attendant page does not state a universal deadline. Leave time to resolve technical problems.
Reported content includes group exercises observed from arrival, a competency interview with the Talent team and In-Flight Service leadership, a strict appearance and uniform-standards check, and a physical reach test at roughly 76 inches up and 35 inches across. Candidates report being released in groups through the day and hearing back by email in about seven to ten days.
Delta names Aon but not the instrument. Candidate accounts describe spatial orientation, shape puzzles, multitasking and auditory reasoning alongside forced-choice personality items, without naming any product. Practice those formats generically if you want, but do not buy preparation sold as Delta’s specific Aon module — nothing confirms which one it is. Prepare separately for the panel interview, the MMPI-2 and the psychologist interview, and know Delta’s Rules of the Road.
Your invitation email is the only document that binds. Delta also states that candidates are never charged for its recruitment process, including applications and screening, and that legitimate recruiting email comes from @delta.com addresses.
The public Delta pages reviewed do not identify a specific game battery. Delta names MakiPeople, Fitme and HireVue for flight attendants and Aon for pilots, but does not publish every assessment detail. That is not proof that no role uses games. Use your invitation to confirm the format.
Delta describes the flight attendant HireVue stage as a self-recorded video interview. Recorded-answer practice fits that published stage; the vendor name alone is not evidence of a game battery. Follow your invitation if it specifies additional assessments.
Delta calls it a Candidate Assessment delivered by its partner MakiPeople; Monroe is the name candidates and cabin-crew press use, not Delta’s own. Reporting describes a conversational AI that starts on relocation and lifestyle fit, moves to situational competency questions, and can ask follow-up questions based on what you just said. The partnership is official; everything about the mechanics is single-source.
Follow the deadline and time zone in your invitation. Delta’s public flight attendant page does not give a universal completion window. The seven-day MakiPeople deadline cited elsewhere in this guide comes from single-source cabin-crew reporting, not a Delta-wide published policy.
Delta does not publish a retake policy, and candidate reports contradict each other — some describe re-recording freely, others a single take with no do-overs, and the accounts are years apart. Check your invitation for the actual retake policy; practice giving a complete answer in one take.
Delta’s pilot hiring FAQ describes an Aon assessment of personality and skills, then a panel interview at Delta HQ, the MMPI-2 and a virtual interview with a Delta psychologist. Delta never identifies which Aon instrument it uses, and pilot candidate accounts name no product either — so treat any site naming a specific Aon module for Delta as guessing.
Delta publishes no hiring process and names no vendor for corporate, internship, co-op, MBA or rotational roles — its corporate careers page describes no process at all. Candidates report an on-demand video interview and sometimes a multiple-choice assessment with ranking sections, but Delta confirms none of it. Prepare STAR answers and Delta’s Rules of the Road, and let your invitation tell you the format.
Event Day at Delta’s Atlanta headquarters, which Delta confirms, followed by a conditional offer contingent on pre-employment screening and then seven weeks of onsite training in Atlanta, where you also receive your base assignment. Reported Event Day content includes group exercises, a competency interview, an appearance check and a reach test at roughly 76 inches up and 35 inches across.
Check the date. Delta’s flight attendant pipeline changed in 2026: September 2025 press described a Virtual Job Tryout with no MakiPeople and no HireVue named, while Delta’s current page names MakiPeople, Fitme and HireVue. Descriptions mentioning a Virtual Job Tryout are describing a superseded cycle for flight attendant hiring.
