Delta employees help connect people each and every day. This mission also guides our relationship with our people: when we take care of one another, you can take care of our customers – and together, we can make Delta a better place to work and fly.
We believe Delta's success should be your success, which is why Delta shares more profit with employees than any company in the industry and has historically provided industry leading total compensation across the board.
Delta believes that all employees should have a stake in the success you help make possible. That’s why Delta shares a much larger percentage of profits with employees than American and United – which in turn means larger payouts for each employee.
Delta's 2024 total profit sharing of $1.4 billion is greater than all of our peer airlines combined ($731 million for United and $200 million for American). All eligible Delta employees also received the same 10% payout, equal to more than one month's pay. American and United offer varying payouts per workgroup and most of their employees will received payouts ranging from about 1% to 8% depending on the workgroup.
A fundamental part of Delta's culture is that we all share in the success of the airline – the success made possible by Delta people. That is why our profit sharing program – which paid out over $1.4 billion in 2024 profits to employees – continues to share more than any other U.S. company's program, airline or not.

United and American offer varying payouts per workgroup and most of their employees received payouts ranging from about 1% to 8% depending on the workgroup.
