A sweet bonus is coming to Delta Air Lines employees.
The airline is giving its workers two months extra pay as a bonus for the company’s strong performance for 2019.
It’s part of the company’s profit-sharing program.
Delta announced it’s giving workers $1.6 billion dollars in the bonuses.
That means every eligible employee will get a check next month for nearly 17 percent of their annual salary.
That works out to two months pay.
Delta’s CEO said “Delta would be nothing without our 90-thousand people. They deserve all the credit.”
Delta says the payout is a record amount for Delta and the sixth straight year it has paid out more than 1 billion to workers.
The profit-sharing does not include Delta’s offices, directors and general managers.
Last year Sign1News interviewed Delta after the company announced its launch of special pins to the uniforms of its crewmembers.
The pins let Deaf travelers know which staff members know sign language.
