Delta Airlines continues to stand out as one of America's most generous employers. The company will pay out around $1.3 billion in profit sharing payments — a larger sum than the whole airline industry combined.
"The passion and dedication of Delta people carried us through 2025," said Chief People Officer Allison Ausband. Employees receive a divided share equal to 10% of company revenue up to $2.5 billion, rising to 20% above that threshold.
