ATLANTA — As a result of Delta Air Lines’ 2024 profit, employees participating in their profit-sharing program will take home a collective $1.4 billion.
Not only does that make the year a little sweeter, but the payment is coming on a day when everyone can share the love: Valentine’s Day.
“Every day, Delta people prove themselves to be difference makers in this industry,” CEO Ed Bastian said. “I’m proud to recognize their unmatched professionalism, teamwork and dedication to excellence with one of our strongest profit-sharing years in Delta’s history.”
Delta said in a statement about the profit share that they’d be giving their employees what equals about 10% of eligible earnings, or five weeks’ worth of extra pay, on Feb. 14.
The company said that shared success is a core value for it, and that the Delta profit-sharing program is “a key element of Delta’s commitment to industry-leading total compensation for industry-leading performance.”
“This year’s profit-sharing payout is a testament to the hard work of Delta people,” Chief People Officer Allison Ausband said. “They recognize that our commitment to safety and world-class service builds trust with our customers – who in turn reward Delta with their loyalty.”
