Delta’s Purpose is to Connect People
Investing in You
We rely on, recognize, and reward the industry-leading performance you deliver. From industry-leading total compensation, including unrivaled profit-sharing, to caring for your physical, emotional, social, and financial wellbeing, Delta supports you at every step of your climb.
We deliver industry leading pay for industry leading performance. That means more cash compensation for you than our closest global competitors, American and United, in every workgroup. Total compesntation includes:
Industry-Leading Profit Sharing
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.
Since 2015, Delta has shared $7.3B in profit sharing with you, while United shared $2.6B and American shared $1B with their people. Our 2023 profit sharing pool of $550M is greater than the pool of all peer airlines combined.
* Delta paid out $1,250 in a special profit sharing payment to all eligible employees.
** United paid out $1,000 to its flight attendants and ACS Ramp and Cargo employees in a special bonus payment.
Shared Rewards
You earn more when we achieve key corporate goals with Shared Rewards – a program that Delta kept intact throughout the pandemic while United and American cancelled shared rewards in April 2020 have not reinstated them. Delta shared $2,550 for 2020-2022 performance, while United and American shared only $225 and $50, respectively.
Our Shared Rewards program is based on four performance metrics, including completion factor, on-time arrivals, baggage handling, and net promoter score (NPS).

Delta Cares
Through the generosity of the Delta family, we promote Delta's culture of caring by delivering financial support to Delta people.
The Delta Care and Scholarship Funds Inc. is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit available for Delta people. Whether taking care of our customers or each other, Delta people specialize in caring for others. It's the Delta difference. Helping fellow employees or retirees when facing a sudden, unexpected personal crisis or providing scholarships to help somebody else realize their dream of upskilling and creating new paths for careers, are some of the ways Delta people are reaching out to make a difference.
