Thursday, 15 February 20183 min read

Delta Air Lines will dole out another billion dollar bonus to its 80,000 strong workforce.

The $1.1 billion profit sharing bounty marks the fourth year in a row the company is paying out a billion dollars or more.

"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," said Delta CEO Ed Bastian.

"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."

It works out to a roughly 10% bonus for all workers.

Delta reported $3.6 billion in total profits for 2017 and now has paid out more than $5 billion in profit sharing over the past five years.
