What benefits does Delta Air Lines offer?

Delta Air Lines offers benefits to full-time employees, including:

1. Profit-sharing: Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Delta shared at least $1 billion in profit with employees annually.

   Sadly, after the pandemic, the profit-sharing was put on hold due to a substantial loss. However, the future looks promising for it to recover and resume profit sharing at some point.

2. Attractive retirement savings plan: Delta Air Lines offers a 401(k) retirement plan with tax benefits. Delta Air Lines adds an automatic contribution of 3% of the employee's salary. They also provide a 100% match for the first 6% contributed by the employee.

3. Training and professional development: Delta Air Lines has pilot training programs at the Delta Air Lines Aircrew Training center in Georgia. There are about nine other training facilities around the United States.

   Trainee flight attendants take an 8-week course. Customer service agents and supervisors attend workshops. There is also an ongoing interactive training series.

   Managers are sent on development programs at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

4. Competitive life insurance: Delta Air Lines's perks include basic and optional life insurance coverage for full-time employees and their dependents. This includes accidental death and injury insurance.

   The insurance pays out a lump sum to beneficiaries to a maximum of $50,000 on the basic plan. The maximum amount is $500,000 if employees take the optional coverage.

5. Comprehensive Medical Insurance: Delta Air Lines has various healthcare insurance options for employees to choose from. The options may vary depending on where they live.

6. Paid leave benefits: The longer an employee stays with Delta Air Lines, the more leave they are entitled to. This includes vacation leave and time off for up to 5 weeks per year. Sick leave comes standard.

   On top of vacation and sick leave, Delta Air Lines provides bereavement, family responsibility, and parental leave. Expecting and new moms can take six weeks of paid leave plus 16 weeks of unpaid leave.
