February 14th marks a special moment in Delta Air Lines: on this date, every year, employees receive their share of the profit made by the company in the previous year. And yesterday – Ash Wednesday in Brazil and Valentine's Day in the United States – workers received a check for 10,4% of their eligible earnings, which represents more than a month's salary.
The payment, which totaled US$1,4 billion, is an important milestone for Delta's profit-sharing program, now bringing the total distributed to employees since its inception in 2007 to US$11 billion. The airline continues to lead the industry in profit sharing, with a total share this year greater than the pool of all U.S. airlines combined.
“Rewarding our people is fundamental to who we are at Delta. It is always my top priority to take care of the Delta team, and this is a great opportunity to recognize their dedication and efforts in 2023,” said Delta CEO Ed Bastian.
This year's profit sharing distribution spans the entire world and is divided as follows:
United States
Georgia – US$595 million
New York – US$ 185 million
Minnesota – US$124 million
Michigan – US$110 million
California – US$86 million
Washington – US$77 million
Utah – US$76 million
Florida – US$32 million
