It was great to see Delta Air Lines sharing the love with its employees – that love is US$1.4 billion between the airline’s 100k staff….that’s about $14,000 each.
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said: “2024 was a great year for Delta with our results reflecting differentiation from the industry and increased durability. Our people finished the year strong, delivering industry-leading operational and financial performance. Sharing Delta’s success is core to our culture, and I’m excited to recognize our people’s outstanding efforts with $1.4 billion in profit sharing payments next month.”
Bastian continued, “As we move into 2025, we expect strong demand for travel to continue, with consumers increasingly seeking the premium products and experiences that Delta Air Lines provides.
“Our differentiated strategy and best-in-class operations, combined with demand strength and an increasingly constructive industry backdrop, position us to deliver the best financial year in Delta Air Lines 100-year history, with pre-tax income greater than $6 billion, earnings per share greater than $7.35 and free cash flow of more than $4 billion.”

Aviation is one of the most complex of industries with most aspects the opposite of what you would think.
A simple example is strength. We all associate strength with rigidity but in aviation its flexibility – like the incredible bend of a wing.
