For the fourth year in a row, Delta Air Lines employees have earned more than $1 billion in profit sharing. The Atlanta-based airline announced on Wednesday that its 80,000 employees will receive $1.1 billion for their exemplary work in 2017.

"This is the fourth year in a row that Delta’s profit sharing has topped $1 billion — a milestone no company in history has ever achieved," the airline's CEO Ed Bastian said in a statement. "Delta people are the reason for our success and Valentine’s Day is our favorite day each year as we celebrate the incredible results our people have delivered."

Delta employees received $1.1 billion in 2015, $1.5 billion 2016, and another $1.1 billion in 2017.

The airline has paid out more than $5 billion in profit sharing over the past half decade.

In January, Delta reported $3.6 billion in profits for 2017, down 18% from the $4.4 billion the airline made in 2016.

According to Delta, total annual compensation at the airline has increased by 80% since 2008. This includes a 6% raise in base pay in 2017 and an 18.5% raise in 2015.

Delta isn't the only airline sharing the wealth with its employees. United Airlines employees earned $349 million in profit sharing for 2017. American Airlines staff earned $241 million. Southwest employees earned $543 million. While Alaska Airlines staff — including Virgin America and Horizon Air — will get a $118 million annual performance bonus.

 

Yup !!
Heard you loud and clear.
One has to remember how he/she would have felt reading this before having any TA on the table.

 

Is that good ol’ DL performance bonus distributed to Endeavor Pilots as well? Or is it just mainline that gets those higher % cut of $1.1Billion.

 

Wrong forum. This is Spirit where employees are not valued.

 

We are low tier, we don't deserve a bonus. Have you learned nothing.

 

Well, that's up to the pilot group. We'll see what the NK group consider themselves on the 28th.

Hahahahhaaha

 

Stop the boarderline communistic envy crap. Spirit is not Delta. When you complain about one group getting more than another, you look like children complaining that you didn’t get as many animal crackers as your kid sister.

 

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Go work for Delta. You’ll never get what you want from Spirit.
